Just a point in the right direction would be greatful.
The usual way with html is to store it in hidden fields in a form. I would probably just save it in global javascript variables, then verify everything that was required was set before sending it to the server. But that risks losing data if it is a long process to set up everything, and then the user navigates away from the page without posting it to the database. -- Larry > > On Feb 23, 5:42 am, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > > > On Feb 21, 7:17 pm, phlexish <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Oh wow, I cannot thank you enough Larry.
