How do I hold FORM DATA if user gets booted out of system..

Hi,

I have an intranet system I created in ASP.
A problem I seem to run into now and then is when users are seletcting
multiple lines of updates in a form, i.e.

They enter quanties, select items from dropdowns and then some script
adds this info to 1 line within a textarea field.
The user may enter any amount of lines of data to submit.

Because our intranet is hosted on our internal servers, sometimes our
router may go down, or they may get booted of the web page for some
other reason .... then .... obviously, all their form data is lost.

Is there any way to preserve this info, so that if they have to
re-login, they can just refresh the form with the last entered
info...i.e., is there an auto save facility within asp or some script
to hold the info as it is typed as an idea ?

Appreciate your help

There is a method of saving/retrieving data locally on a machine without the
problems of security, but (I think) it only works in IE.

IMHO it would be better to secure those elements though you don't have to.
If you really want it depends what fails. You could do something server side
for example if this is a session expiration. You have also some capabilities
client side but this is likely browser specific (you have a persistance
"behavior" under IE, try to Google for this).

Hi all, I have a client that is obsessed (actually paranoid) with security. One requirement he has is that any data deleted from a database be physically removed. This means not only within the scope of the database itself, but at the file level itself. For example, if a row in a table has a value of "foobar", and that row is deleted, then the string "foobar" must not be found within any of the database files, or even on the disk. If...

Hi, I am trying to change the data in a form field from python. The following code does not crash but has no effect as if "form" is just a copy of the original html form. Must I recreate the form order to do that ? My point is for the client to be able to re-read the modified data.

Another request for comments here. I'd like to accomplish something like the scheme outlined at this page here: http://tinyurl.com/3dtcdr In a nutshell, the form uses javascript to hash (md5) the password field using a random one-time salt (nonce) -- generated by php and pasted in the form -- that is then posted with the hashed password

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
