I have a html form that submits to a SQL database. The user enters their name everytime they complete the form. How do I auto populate the name field everytime the user returns to use the form so they don't have to enter it everytime? I think I can do it with a cookie, but I am not sure. Any example you can provide would be GREAT!! Please Help....

Thanks much

Yeap... you have to use cookies technology... ;)

Additionaly, give the user a checkbox as an option to do this (like most sites do). I wouldnt do it without the user being aware.

First you need to check whether cookies are supported in end users system. Then check whether the cookies already exists in user system. If the user is visiting for the first time it won't be ...so add the cookie now. Also if need assign a expiry date to it. Thats it ..
