Saving form information on the fly

[mdavis79]

I'm wondering if there is any way to save form information to session variables on the fly. For example, if I have a form the first page being contact information, and the second page being some other information, I want the information being entered in the text fields to be saved to pre-declared session variables as soon as that text field is clicked out of or the tab button is hit on the keyboard. That way, wherever the person goes on the form, or on the website, their information will be inserted back into the proper form fields if they revisit that page. The reason I want to figure out how to do this is because some of my users have been having problems with the form data being erased if they click the "back" button on their browser. For others, it works just fine...I just want to do this as a precausion.

Thanks in advance...

Your talking about the difference between server side and client side.

PHP is server side. You would need to use javascript for the client side.

You may be able to set a cookie with javascript when a user enters information then test when the page load for the cookie and variable.

just one of a couple options.
