Looks to me like you're trying to handle form fields the same way you can in
PHP. In PHP, giving a form name[1] makes it part of an array on the next
page.
However, ColdFusion will not handle form variables this way - instead of an
array called form.name, it would see a variable called form.name[1],
form.name[2], etc (which are invalid variable names).
Rather than trying to index your forms via arrays, try ColdFusion list
handling functions:
on your first page:
<form ...>
<cfoutput query="something">
<input type=hidden name=itemid value="#id#">
<input type=hidden name=form.name value="#name#">
</cfoutput>
</form>
this creates two lists, form.itemid and form.name - they will be in synch,
and can serve the same purpose as form element arrays in PHP:
<cfif listFind(form.itemid,getids.id)>
<cfoutput>#listGetAt(form.name,listFind(form.itemid,getids.id))#</cfoutput>
</cfif>
