I am attempting to try to add a value of a variable to the end of a URL in a confirmation page after a form is submitted, in ColdFusion. I am able to add the variable with a typical link:
<a href="confirmOrder-solar.cfm?provider=#provider#">
But if I attempt to do the same thing in the form action the value does not show up in the URL:
<cfif getOffer.RecordCount GT 0>
<form method="post" action="confirmOrder-solar.cfm?provider=#provider#" id="signupForm">
<p class="red small">Fields marked with a * are required.</p>

Is there a simple workaround for this or will it likely take a Javascript solution? Thank you
