In that case, you need to combine multiple formfields into one cookie. A cookie can handle a large amount of data, 4 KB is enough for pretty large text fields. It is the maximum of 20 that is a pain in the ass.
Try this to set your cookies. USAGE for Storage: var tmp = new superCookie('cookiename'); tmp.add('subcookiename','value'); And for retrieval: var tmp = new superCookie('cookiename'); tmp.load(); var value = tmp.get('subcookiename'); var cookie = document.cookie; function getcookie(name) { // use: getCookie("name"); var index = cookie.indexOf(name + "="); if(index == -1){ return ''; } index = cookie.indexOf("=", index) + 1; var endstr = cookie.indexOf(";", index); if (endstr == -1){ endstr = cookie.length; } return unescape(cookie.substring(index, endstr)); } function setcookie(name,value) { if(document.cookie != document.cookie){ index = document.cookie.indexOf(name); }else{ index = -1; } if(index == -1){ document.cookie = name + '=' + escape(value) + '; expires=Monday, 04-Apr-2010 05:00:00 GMT'; } } function superCookie(name){ this.name = name; this.raw = []; this.serialized; this.deserialized = []; } superCookie.prototype = { serialize:function(){ var i = this.raw.length; var tmp = []; while(i--){ tmp.push('{name:\''+this.raw[i].label+'\',value:\''+this.raw[i].data+'\' }'); } this.serialized = tmp.join(); return this.serialized; }, deserialize:function(){ if(!this.serialized){ return; } var self = this; this.serialized.replace(/\{[^}]+\}/g, function(match){self.deserialized.push(match)}) return this.deserialized; }, add:function(name,value){ if(value.length <= 0){ value = 'null'; } this.raw.push({label:name,data:escape(value)}) }, get:function(name){ var set = this.deserialize(); if(typeof set == 'undefined'){ return ''; } var i = set.length; while(i--){ eval('var tmp = ' + set[i] + ';'); if(tmp.name == name){ var value = unescape(tmp.value); if(value != null && value != 'null'){ return value; }else{ return ''; } break; } } return ''; }, toRaw:function(){ var set = this.deserialize(); if(typeof set == 'undefined'){ return; } var i = set.length; this.raw = []; while(i--){ eval('var tmp = ' + set[i] + ';'); this.raw.push({label:tmp.name,data:escape(tmp.value)}) } }, load:function(){ this.serialized = getcookie(this.name); this.toRaw(); }, save:function(){ setcookie(this.name,this.serialize()); } } Micha Schopman Project Manager Modern Media, Databankweg 12 M, 3821 AL Amersfoort Tel 033-4535377, Fax 033-4535388 KvK Amersfoort 39081679, Rabo 39.48.05.380 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----- Modern Media, Making You Interact Smarter.

This would be an interesting point to pursue - when submitting the form you set a cookie for EVERY form field - may be better off saving it in a session variable?? Live headers / Page info via Netscape / Mozilla etc are very useful when looking at things like this.
