Coldfusion form not updating database

Question

I have a form that updates on the same page is it on...this form worked last week and I have not touched the code AT ALL. What could have changed? :\

"It is not working.." as in...once the information is submitted, the information in the database is not updated. :\

NOTE: I KNOW I need to replace things with cfparam...don't worry about that part.

Another Note: this page is included in a tabbed area (jquery UI tabs)

I have tried to debug this with firebug...but I get no errors... :\

Here is the code:

<!-- Submit form handles -->
<cfif isdefined("form.buttonGen")>

  <cfparam name="form.TeachingLevel" default="None">
  <cfif #form.FundSource# IS 'Other'>
    <cfset form.FundSource = #form.FundSourceOther#>
  </cfif>

  <cfquery name="savePeople" datasource="#sacsds#" username="#sacsuser#" password="#sacsuser#">
  UPDATE faculty.dbo.SACS_Person
  SET Status = '#form.Status#',
  FundSource = '#form.FundSource#',
  TeachingLevel = '#form.TeachingLevel#',
  TeachingFields = '#form.TeachingFields#',
  MeetsReq = '#form.MeetsReq#', 
  GraduateHours = '#form.GraduateHours#',
  MeetsQual = '#form.MeetsQual#',
  Justification = '#form.Justification#'
  WHERE IDNum = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#session.fperson#"> AND
  DeptCode = '#session.DeptCode#'
  </cfquery>


<cfif ISDEFINED("form.VitaFile") AND form.VitaFile IS NOT ''>


    <cffile action="upload" filefield="form.VitaFile" destination="#VitaLoc#" nameconflict="makeunique">
    <cfset form.VitaURL = "#VitaPath#/#cffile.serverfile#">
        <cfquery name="saveVita" datasource="#sacsds#" username="#sacsuser#" password="#sacsuser#">
        UPDATE faculty.dbo.SACS_Person
         SET vitaURL =   '#form.vitaURL#'
         WHERE idnum LIKE '#form.idnum#'
        AND  deptCode LIKE '#form.deptCode#'
        </cfquery>

</cfif>



</cfif>
<div id = "dialog2">
<b>Saved.</b> 
</div>

Answer 1

Apparently, the jquery dialog that tells the user the content was saved...was preventing the query from running. Strange...oh well no pretty dialog. :\ Doesn't work with the way I have things going. I'd have to do my form stuff through ajax...I would just do that, but I don't have time. Thanks everyone...

PS: I'll work on my coding style. :)
