Hi all,
I am trying out my hands at writing a script that i can use to save, exit and come back later to continue filing the form from where i stopped the last time. I am hopng someone will help me out.
The script i guess should be like the ones that is used to save e-mail messages as drafts.
thanks

You answered your own question.
Save the contents of the form.
When you come back later read that data back in and continue.

Do you mean your own forms or someone else's forms?
1)
Example, someone comes to YOUR website and fills out YOUR form.
The next time they come back, they see everything already filled in.
Is that what you mean or ...
2)
YOU visit someone ELSE's site and fill out a form and later come back
and see everything still filled in the boxes.
If you mean item #1, that can be done easily with Perl/Javascript
and cookies.
If you mean item #2, that can't be done without some software that
you install on your PC ... some kind of "form saving" software.
Like these examples ...
