Emailing Contents of An Already Processed Form

I've developed a webpage that displays the contents of my database. The user has 4 different views to look at, (View 1, View 2, View 3 and View All). In each of these views the user can select some rows, add the rows to a cart and continue browsing.

I know how to get what the user selected , but i don't know how to get what they selected, store their selection, allow them to continue surfing, store more rows, and then finally email the administrator their selections.

This is what i don't know how to do:

1. I do not know how to allow users to Sort Columns by clicking a Column Header.

2. I do not know how to allow user to select rows (via checkbox) and send the selections to a cart (structure i am assuming), continue browsing and add more items to cart.

3. I do not know how to have all the pages display how many items they have the the cart.

4. I do not know how to have user view cart and delete selections.

5. I do not know how to have user email their selections over to an email address that is stored in the same database (different table).

6. I do not know how to send html email to administrator.

You can just use cfmail and type=HTML

<cfmail to="#Email#" from="me@this.com" subject="message from me" type="HTML">
<Table>
  <TR BGCOLOR="#bgcolor#">
        <TD><DIV ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT  SIZE="-1">
            <CFIF column1 IS "">
              <B><FONT color=red>n/a</FONT></B>
              <CFELSE>
              #column1#
            </CFIF>
            </FONT></DIV>
       </TD>
  </tr>
</TABLE>
</cfmail>

But make sure you also submit the sellection in a hiiden field or something

Thank you. it helped quite a bit. Can you check out my new question?
sorry i coudn't reply earlier, i was out of station...

see u have the #FORM.PROPID# defined in your page [before sending the mail]
<TR>
    <TD COLSPAN="2"><DIV ALIGN="CENTER">
        <P>&nbsp;</P><TABLE WIDTH="35%" BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0">
          <TR VALIGN="BOTTOM">
            <TD WIDTH="50%"> <DIV ALIGN="CENTER">
                <INPUT NAME="Send" TYPE="submit" ID="Send" VALUE="Send">
              </DIV></TD>
            <TD WIDTH="50%"> <DIV ALIGN="CENTER">
                <INPUT TYPE="RESET" NAME="Submit2" VALUE="Reset">
              </DIV></TD>
          </TR>
        </TABLE>
      </DIV></TD>
  </TR>
</TABLE>
        </DIV>
        <input type="hidden" name="PROPID" value="<cfoutput>#FORM.PROPID#</cfoutput>"> <!--- note this line of code --->
       </TD>
    </TR>
  </CFFORM>
</TABLE>
