how can i make it so that when a user checks a checkbox and selects an item off a list (<option>) can be remembered after a user hits save. This is a form with an ADD button, when you click on ADD you get a series of textboxes, checkboxes and dropdown lists, so when the user saves and hits ADD again, you get the same series of textboxes, checkboxes and dropdown lists but they are all blank, how can i make the values he selected on the dropdown lists and the checkboxes he checked to appear again. :confused:


Thanks !

I believe you need to use server-side scripting and temporary storage in a database, rather than client-side (javascript) for this. Unless you're using separate forms and are simply turning off visibility, the form reset (after save) will lose the values.
