Best Way For Back Button To Leave Form Data

Question

I\'m creating a web page based on user input from a form. After the user sees the generated page I want to allow them to press the back button and make changes to the form.

Answer 1

Store the saved information in cookies as delimited data. If the cookie exists, repopulate the form.

If you use document.formName.fieldName syntax, there are no cross-browser issues.

As a fall-back if cookies are disabled, you can store it on the server and do the same with AJAX.
