I saw a site where there was a from and when on page x.asp, when you 

filled in this text area and hit submit it returned to page x.asp with the 

typed information still inside the text area. Below was a link to page 

y.asp and when you clicked on the link, the page came up with the 

information that was in the textarea. when you close your browser or 

refresh it and then tpyed in www.domain.com/y.asp  the information from 

the text are was still there and it remains there until some one hits 

submit on page x.asp. How is this done? 

 they probally used cookies... and a db

when you click the submit button, it adds the data to a database and then

passes the recordid back yo your browser and stored it in a cookie.. in that

cookie or in the db it also says that this hasnt been submitted on the y

page yet.

so whenever you come back to the site.. it does a Request.cookie and checks

to see if you have entered any data and if so if it has not been submitted

on y.asp yet and if not it will write it out in the text area..



does this make since??
