ColdFusion Search with Excel Sheet creation

Question

I created a form search with two buttons - one for results on the web page and one to create an excel sheet.
Problem: When a user conducts a search with results on the web page - the user would have to select the criteria again then click the create excel button to create the sheet.
How can I work it, so the user after conducting a search can just click one button to create the excel sheet?
(Using "Post" for the form - will change to get if needed will your help)

Answer 1

I'm still freshman with CF - this means I have a lot of questions.
When I tried using the excel.cfm page I receive: Variable MRESULTS is undefined.
How do I send "mresults" to the excel page?
Search Page Link:
   <a href="javascript:document.
getElementById('yourForm').submit()">Excel</a>
      <form id="yourForm" action="excel.cfm" method="post">
             <!--- save search values sent via POST --->
             <cfoutput>
             <input name="ship" value="#mresults.ship#">
             </cfoutput>
      </form>
Excel page:
<cfquery name="MResults"
         datasource="support">
select *
from table1
<cfform action="/msr/excel.cfm" method="post"> 
<cfset sObj=SpreadsheetNew()>
<!--- Create header row --->
<cfset SpreadsheetAddRow(sObj, "Name,address")>
<cfset SpreadsheetFormatRow(sObj, {bold=TRUE,fgcolor="grey_25_percent", alignment="center"}, 1)>
<cfset SpreadsheetFormatColumn(sObj, {alignment="left", dataformat="mm/dd/yyyy"}, 14)>
<cfset SpreadsheetAddRows(sObj, MResults)>
<cfspreadsheet action="write" name="sObj" filename="C:Orders.xls" overwrite="true">
<cfheader    name="Content-Disposition"
                        value="inline; filename=Orders.xls">
            <cfcontent    type="application/csv"
                        file="C:\Orders.xls"
                        deletefile="yes">
</cfform>
</cfquery>
