Passing javascript variable to another page

[vavolunteer]

Hello everyone. I beg forgiveness early as I am new to this forum. I am using ColdFusionMX with MS SQL and just starting to learn Javascript.

I have a CFFORM page where a user provides contact information. Within this form I also have a Javascript dropdown select menu. This drop down pulls a listing of facilities from a table in my SQL database. The facility selected will be used to determine the program manager the contact information is sent to by CFMAIL.

My problem: How do I pass the Javascript select variable to the next page (a .cfm preview page)? I get the ELEMENT Staname UNDEFINED in FORM, but can't figure out what is missing.

Here is the Javascript code:

<cfset idx = -1>
<cfset mycase = 0>
<!---JavaScript--->
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
function whichLocal(obj){
switch (obj.selectBorder.selectedIndex){
<!--- use the group attribute to group output by category --->
<cfoutput query="getLocation" group="dState">
<cfset mycase = mycase + 1>case #mycase#:
<cfset myList = ValueList(getLocation.Staname)>
<cfset numberInState = ListValueCount(myList, Staname)>
obj.selectLocal.length=#numberInState#<cfoutput><cfset idx = idx + 1>
obj.selectLocal.options[#idx#].value="#getLocation.STA6A#"
obj.selectLocal.options[#idx#].text="#getLocation.STA6A#"</cfoutput>

break;

<cfset idx = -1>
</cfoutput>
}
}
</script>

And my preview page code:

<cfform action="Submit_DB_TEST.cfm" method="post" name="vavolunteer">
<strong>Volunteer Opportunity Location</strong>
City:<input type="text" name="Staname" value=<cfoutput>"#form.Staname#"</cfoutput>>

<br>
First Name:<input type="text" name="FName" value=<cfoutput>"#form.FName#"</cfoutput>>

Email:<input type="text" name="Email" value=<cfoutput>"#form.Email#"</cfoutput>> <p></p>
Additional Comments:<input type="text" name="Why" value=<cfoutput>"#form.WHy#"</cfoutput>> <p></p>
Preferred Method of Contact:<input type="text" name="Contact" value=<cfoutput>"#form.Contact#"</cfoutput>> <p></p>


<input name="Save Information" type="Submit" value="Submit">
<input name="Reset" type="reset" value="Clear">
</cfform>

Thanks for any help.
