Dear all,

Suppose I am filling the information of a staff; name, addressand position. Please note that position is taken from a table in access, listing in the drop-down box (select). When I filled the name and address, I note there's no such his positionexisted in the table, so I need to add more via another page. As so, after inserting new position, then come back and need to refill the name and address.

How to keep the name and address when I come back because I don't want to refill?

Thank you.

Best regards,
Sokha

How are the name and address being filled in? Are they coming from the database as well? Or is this a form that you are entering data into, and you may encounter a case where you need to create a new position? If the browser leaves the page you will have to repopulate that field some how. You could save the values off to the session object and then use those values to prefill the entry boxes. That would be the easiest way.

The name and address are not from database, but in the form. I have added a button that points to the position page for adding new. So it means that it not a submit button, so how can I receive the value of the name and address fields? (suppose the form's name is "frmUser")

Unless you submit the form where the name and address field live you can not do anything with those values on the server side.

You could create a page that allows for the addition of a new position that pops up. This way you don't loose the data the user has entered for name and address. The popup page can do what it needs to add a position. Presumably you need to save a new position to the database so that it's selectable in the future. Then you need to have that popup page tell the page with the main form about the new position that was created. With some crafty javascript you can have the "new position" page tell the other form what the new position is and the form will add the position to the position selector and pre-select it for you. All of this is done on the client side with javascript. Once it's all complete the "new position" popup automatically closes itself and the user is returned back to the original form.

Could you please give me the sample code?
