What do you mean it is not submitting any "variables in URL"?

Have you tried outputting the form on result.cfm?

I used cfdump URL.formelement and URL it gives me error undefind variable and URL struct empty.

That is because the form is not putting the data into the URL it is putting it into the FORM structure.

To retrieve the data in the form you need to do

<cfoutput>
#form.catg_ID#
</cfoutput>

I ve done that and error element undefined , also I noticed when I view from dreamweaver to Browser does not updated right a way and even when I boot my machine ,some times changes will not reflected right a way , any advice.

Try making your form ID and form Name the same thing. See what that does.

As for changes not showing up, clear your browser cache and see if the change shows up.
