Is there a simple way to repopulate a form when a user puts in unacceptable data (say an email address without the the @) and submits the form.) In the attached code, the form displays an error message, and re presents the form but all the fields are blank. The user has to rekey all the information back in. What a pain.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
