Url mistake

Question

Hi.in the page with this URL:
https://www.mart.com/eManager/index.cfm?leftPanel=6
I have created this form:
<form
action="index.cfm?leftPanel=#url.leftPanel#&rightPanel=100"
method="post">
and I declare them in rightpanel\index.cfm like this:
<CFELSEIF Url.leftPanel EQ 6>
<CFIF Url.rightPanel EQ 1>
<CFINCLUDE
template="categories/level1.cfm"><!---shows the form
page--->
<CFELSEIF Url.rightPanel EQ 100>
<CFINCLUDE
template="products/actions/addCatLevel1.cfm"><!---shows the
the results--->
</CFIF>
but the problem is when I submit the form the url of the page
shows:
https://www.mart.com/eManager/index.cfm?leftPanel=#url.leftPanel&rightPanel=100
what is the problem & how can I see the addCatLevel1.cfm
page?
I tried to use it like this:<form
action="index.cfm?leftPanel=6&rightPanel=100" method="post">
but still nothing is showing on the page.
thank u

Well, I'm not sure of your exact problem as you don't seem
very clear in what you're saying. BUT, there are a few things I
have noticed are a bit odd.
1 - You might want to try using a GET in your method, so that
it can show in the address bar - but then again it probably already
does. e.g:
<form
action="index.cfm?leftPanel=#url.leftPanel#&rightPanel=100"
method="get">
2 - Why does your conditional statement start with a CFELSEIF
?? That should be a condition AFTER a CFIF. Perhaps this is causing
you problems?
3 - For your variables to show you must use CFOUTPUT tag to
process them. e.g:
<form
action="<cfoutput>index.cfm?leftPanel=#url.leftPanel#&rightPanel=100</cfoutput>"
method="get">
4 - The URL you gave gives me an "Unable to establish a
connection to the server at www.mart.com" error. Perhaps a wider
issue and not CF related?
Hope this helps, thanks.
