I am in the process of converting a form which uses the post method to one which uses the get method

The current form reads

<cfform name="qSearch" method="post" action="index.cfm?page=cresults#session.amper##session.URLTOKEN#">

My question is, is there any way of using the "get" method but also preserving the #session.amper##session.URLTOKEN# in the url

Question 2: Are there any advantages to using URLTOKEN as above ?
 
Using the session.urltoken allows you to maintain sessions when cookies are disabled.
The problem with using it is that u only need the url to hijack someone elses session.
However by changing your forms to GET, you will not lose those variables if they are already appended to the end of the url anyway.
