Re: PHP saving forms on client side

I dont know what you call 'feasable' but this would be the most efficient way of doing this: <FORM NAME="coolform" METHOD=POST ACTION='<reference to self>'> <INPUT type="text" name="firstName" value="<?=$firstName?>"></INPUT> <INPUT type="text" name="lastName" value="<?=$lastName?>"></INPUT> <INPUT type="submit" onClick="submitToServer();" value="Submit to server"></INPUT> <INPUT type="submit" onClick="submitToRegenerator();" value="Generate saveable form"></INPUT> </FORM> <SCRIPT> function submitToServer() { document.forms['coolform'].action = '<submit to server url>'; document.forms['coolform'].submit(); // May not be necessary } function submitToRegenerator() { document.forms['coolform'].action = '<submit to self url>'; document.forms['coolform'].submit(); // May not be necessary } </SCRIPT> When the form is initially loaded, $firstName will not exist, therefore the form filed will appear blank. When a special type of submit is clicked (ie a 'generate partially filled out form' submit) it would simply re-render the page but with all the values in the actual HTML. You can change the submit locations of a single form depending on the button pressed using some simple Java Script ... included ... but check the object paths of document.forms['...'].action - I havent coded JS in a long while!
