URL. variable persisting across submit()

Question

Hi,
I have a wierd problem that affects only one script of dozens
that use the same technique.
I have apage with two forms. The first form displays a select
lisst of players in our basketball club. When selecting a player
the page is reloaded using onChange='document.players.submit();'.
The second form contains all the players details, and when
you press update button, it calls another script which then updates
the players details and returns to the original script.
To ensure the updated user row is loaded the first script
passes the players id to the second script, which in turn passes it
back after the update.
A check is done to see if an incoming URL variable is
present.
As long as I don't update any player records URL.players
never exists
If I update a player URL.player exists, as it should, but
then persists for every submit() from that point onwards, and it
only happens in this one script, such that I can never load another
player record unless I exist the script and go back in.
Any ideas?

This is the whole section of code. I already had
method="post". Sorry about the >/cfoutput> it's not actually
in the code.
<cfquery name="players"
Datasource="#Application.Datasource#">
select users.uid_user,full_name from
users, user_roles
where user_roles.uid_role=3 and
user_roles.uid_user=users.uid_user
<cfif #session.sequence# is True>
order by first_name, last_name
<cfelse>
order by last_name, first_name
</cfif>
</cfquery>
<!--- When coming back after a change, remember which user
was selected. --->
<cfif isDefined('URL.players')>
<cfset FORM.players=#URL.players#>
<cfelse>
<cfif Not isDefined('FORM.players')>
<cfset FORM.players=#players.uid_user#>
</cfif>
</cfif>
<!--- Load the player account --->
<cfquery name="get_player"
datasource="#Application.datasource#">
select * from players where uid_user=#FORM.players#
</cfquery>
<!--- Display the form --->
<cfform name="players" method="post" action="">
<table width="652" border="0" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="5">
<tr class="PageText">
<td width="127"><div
align="right">Member:</div></td>
<td width="408">
<cfselect name="players"
Query="players"
display="full_name"
value="uid_user"
size="1"
required="yes"
multiple="no"
selected="#FORM.players#"
passthrough="onchange='document.players.submit();'">
</cfselect></td>
</tr>
</table>
</cfform>
The second half of the page contains all the player details
for the user to edit. The form statement for this is..
<cfform name="def_player" method="post"
action="change_player2.cfm?players=#FORM.players#">
When change_player2.cfm returns to change_player.cfm...
<cflocation
url="change_player.cfm?players=#URL.players#">
This all used to work fine, but has stopped recently. This
was the first script this happened to. Now I;ve found another one.
In this case, selcting users from the drop down doesn't work at all
- it juest keeps reloading the first user in the table.
I was wondering if this might be server related, so I tried
the version on the production server, which is externally hosted.
Same problem. I uploaded the code as you see it above and tried
again, same problem.
thanks
