I want to keep the value of the user input (e.g. text box value)
displayed after page refresh by a javascript.
The following test web page is used.
The alerts appear before and after the page refresh as expected on all
browsers (FF, Chrome, Opera & IE).
The input value in a text box still appear after page refresh for IE
but not FF, Chrome, Opera.
Please help to make it work for FF, Chrome, Opera.

            window.location.reload(true);

The field value will persist if you do not pass true to reload call.
Also, you probably want the savevalue function to return false so that
the form is not actually submitted.

Not guaranteed.

That would be the case if the return value of savevalue() would be returned
to an `onsubmit' handler of a form, but there is none here which is the
problem.

0. RTFM, STFW, RTFFAQ: <http://jibbering.com/faq/#posting> pp.
1. Make it Valid HTML: <http://validator.w3.org/>
2. Lose Prototype.js and probably Cookie.js, too.
3. Use the `onload' attribute of the `body' element to fill the controls
with the cookie data.
4. Add a server-side fallback.

Use the IE's 'autocomplete' attribute, e.g.

<input autocomplete="off" ...>
