hu, anyone helping me, setting that cookie?

that's what i was thinking of too. but there are some cons:
- if another user uses the same pc, it overwrites the formcontent.
- there are some people, who dislike cookies...

anyway, i'm ready to take the challenge...

there are only two form-fields, that must be saved:
- one is called title, maxlength=20 type=text
- textarea, with at about 500 chars (80 words)

now, i was thinking of setting the cookie via perl, is java the easier way?

[edit]
uh, what i (almost) forgot: setting the cookie is only an option. i was thinking of a link called 'save input', when clicked, it's setting a cookie.

for the second situation the only thing i could see to do would be to save the information into a cookie and then on your page use javascript to get the information in the cookie and display it on the page... if you give me a little more information about what your form is like and what fields you need to "save" i might be able to help you write the cookie...
or check out this tutorial it is how i learned

NOTE: this solution will not work if the person turns their cookies off, which some people do.
