As far as I know, you can't get a standard browser to send form data to the server without a "submit." If you want to repaint the form with the data in the fields, you can send a new verson of the page and form with the variables "value"d with the entries. That way, the user doesn't lose any entries. And fwiw, my recent experience indicates that the user's entries don't vanish like they used to, anyway. Not something to count on, though.

The reason I want it is that once a page is submitted, its content is lost, unless manually reload and reset all user inputs, which is tiresome. thanx a lot! -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
