Rewrite the URL

Question

I have two pages search.cfm & searchResult.cfm. In the
search.cfm page, suppose that a dropdown of user names and submit
button. if select the user name(for exp. - Giriraj) then click the
submit button then we get the details of Giriraj user in the
searchResult.cfm page and the URL should be
http://localhost/CFTest/Giriraj.cfm
instead of
http://localhost/CFTest/searchResult.cfm?key=Giriraj

Answer 1

So you already have Giriraj.cfm created already? That would
mean that you would need a page for each id, which seems horribly
inefficient from a coding / maintenance point of view. I would
seriously reconsider that archetecture. But if for some reason you
are stuck with it, I can see 2 solutions:
1) Use javascript on your form to change the action attribute
of the form to something like this:
function checkSubmit() {
document.myform.action = "
http://localhost/cftest/" +
document.myform.key.value + ".cfm";
2) On SearchResult.cfm, use <cflocation> to relocate
the user to the correct page based on the value of the variable
"key"
