Hi

I am currently trying to have a feedback form on a website where the user enters their name and email address. I need to make it so that the next time they return their name and email address will be in the name and email fields of the form.

I know I obviously need to do this with cookies and in some way linked to my submit button but I am unsure on exactly how to do this.
