How about using Javascript?
if validation fails run the following
<script language="JavaScript">
history.go(-1);
</script>
then it would be like hitting the back button.
All their information should still be on the page excluding password
field.
Just a thought.

Subject: Intro and questions...what else?
| Hey all...
|
| I am new to the list, as well as a relatively new CF programmer
| (1+years),
| and I am going back and filling in the gaps from when I learned what
| I
| needed to at the time. ;-) I have been programming for a few years,
| so
| understanding the programming concepts is not a problem.
|
| I do have a question on a site I am developing for a future personal
| business. I want to allow users to sign up for a trial account. I
| have
| javascript that checks the form for validity (Email address, no
blank
| fields, etc), but I need to also check the database to make sure
that
| the
| user account name does not already exist. I can do this easily in
the
| handler page, but if the username exists, and I send them back, all
| their
| info disappears.
|
| I can take care of this by passing the data back, but I would rather
| not
| keep passing their password back and forth. Is there a way to keep
| the
| data, without passing it back and forth?
