Saving Form Items upon Unloading....

[Mel]

I need to go through each and every one of the form elements on my page
and save them to a file, so that when a user returns from whereever, i
can present the data back to the user.

Has anyone done this kinda thing ?

thanks in advance

This is usually done server-side, using ASP, PHP, ColdFusion, or the like.

Do you want to do it client-side, with JavaScript?

I need to do it on the serverside. I am looking for a Javascript that
gathers the information for me and stuffs it into a flat file !!!

You want to try to do something client side that is simpler and easier
to do on the server? Submit the form, let the server handle the rest.
Whether it be to a flat file, database, or into never never land.

Never used ASP before? Or a Netscape server? Although ASP technically
uses JScript.

Thanks God;

Yes that is exactly what i want to do.

I want the user to go to any page, fill our forms partially and when he
returns to a form page later on see his stuff there for him to complete
