keep javascript data after page reload

[commun1]

Hello folks

well well, here's a small prob. I'm facin':

a form with some checkboxes in it, some of them "checked".
I simply click on the reload button of my browser and all the checked checkboxes return to "normal", are unchecked.

is there a way to keep those checked just using Javascript?

as always, thank you in advance.

Bernhard

Hmmm... here is what I would do...

Try adding an onclick to every input item that runs a function (you can do this on page load). Have this onclick function set a cookie and some data based on the current checkbox and it's current state.

On page load, if the cookies exist, use their data to set the checkboxes... and then empty out the cookies. If the cookies don't exist on page load (initial case) then do nothing special.

If the user doesn't have javascript... nothing breaks. If they refuse the cookies... nothing breaks. If they have javascript.... then doing a refresh will keep the checkbox states.

Hope this is what you were after...
