how to retain display after moving back then forward in history

[jay_dev]

i have this slight of problem
my page displays a div tag each time a new info is inserted
but if i hit the back history button,move back to an earlier page then come back to the one i was working on, the divs are no longer displayed
is there a way to retain them like in the browser's cache or elsewhere ?

I Need to accomplish this fast please !!

use sessions or a database.

[jay_dev]

how ?
in my code i cache values entered by user in hidden fields that are added to the div content. User can also remove a div he has added, so i've set up a counter that gives me the div id each time one is added it is incremented and decremented when one is removed
So i'd have

'<input type="hidden" name="qty" ' +id_of_the_div + ' value=" ' + entered_value + ' ">

So how can i use session to retain those values
please help me if you can

hi
here's my problem
i'm trying to create somthing like a shopping basket ,
i have a menu where users pick what ever they want and whatevere they pick
i append it as a div child of a master div tag existing in my document.
So im creating child DIVs every time a choice is made and removing'em when
choice deleted. Assume this is Page1

the problem is that when the HISTORY BACK button of the browser ( Page0) is clicked all these created DIV tags ( the children) disappear when press Forward to go back to Page1 so everything done by the user is lost

is there a way to resolve this?

record the information in sessions and then if those variables aren't empty then re run the script with the variables. or use variables in the windows location
