There is also an issue that it does not appear as if the data was updated because we pulled the data object details before the update was made. Also when we saved our edit page data, it would be nice if we were sent back to the list page. Let us take a look at the redirect tag in ColdFusion, <cflocation>.

<cfif structKeyExists(attributes,"submit")>
