autosaveform.js

[skander]

Hi ,
Users enter data in a form, but often need to re-fill same form withe data that is 90% the same.....How can I use autosaveform.js, and save a form image centrally (on disk somewhere), at the end whilejust after pushing the submit button. I can later on just refresh the form as if I just completed it: I would like to use this as a way to log my users forms images, so that if they want to modify few items - OFTEN FROM A DIFFERENT PC, they don't need to re-fill all fields (or more imortantly have to remember or maually copy their responses for later updates if needed....). Thanks....

JavaScript cannot do that; JavaScript runs on the client-side (on the computer that's running it). It cannot communicate with the server in order to store information in a central place. You'd need a server-side language for that.

Different users, with data recall from a different PC? You'd be looking at some sort of membership system, with the individual form user's data stored in a database. Likely technologies you'd need to use/write would be a server-side language such as PHP, and a database to hold the data - MySQL or similar.

It would be quite a significant amount of work - more so if you're learning PHP, MySQL and database logic from scratch.
