My personal suggestion for self-submitting forms is to have the form itself in the cfelse portion of the statement. Then at the bottom of the cfif, have a cflocation. That way you don’t have to worry about people hitting refresh and resubmitting the form.

So it would look like this (using some of your code).

<cfparam name="myaction" value="form">

<cfif StructKeyExists(URL,"myaction") AND URL.action IS "do_form">
	<!--- Insert info into database or something here --->
	<!--- You can use a cflocation when done --->
	<!--- May as well use a cfabort too --->
<cfelse>
	<form name="#cgi.script_name#?do=myaction" method="post">
		<input type="text" name="test" value="test">
		<input type="submit" value="Submit">
	</form>
</cfif>

No CFQueryParam?
