RE: FN-FORUM: Saving Form Data

date posted 5th August 2003 16:38

asp.net has built in funtionality to do this. Which is good. I use cold
fusion and at the moment pass the data back using a URL, alternatively if
there is lots of data you could store it in a db and fill in the form when
you go back using a short url based id for the data.

Cookies are another option but more fiddly I think.

Hi All,
I've noticed on some sites that if you fill out a form and then go back
it still has all your previously entered data. Is that a server side
thing or is it client side in a cookie? or could it be either..

I just want to do it on my site and just working out how
