    Retain Checkbox Value

    Just a quick question regarding the way to do something rather than the
    actual code :-

    I have a page which has some links that go through to a HTML form and
    each link will check a certain checkbox. I want the form to retain the
    checked status of any checkboxes that are set to checked when the user
    goes back to the previous page.

    Would this be best done using sessions or is there another way I could
    use? I don't mind using sessions as I have used them before. I would
    like to avoid using cookies but I don't really have any strong
    objections to using them, it's just that they're not 100% reliable (but
    then, what is?).

    TIA,

    Pete.

      Disable caching for the HTML form with the checkboxes and use session
      variables to hold their status.

          Well, if the users are filling a form, presumbly you'd be storing what they
          entered somewhere, right? Reload that data and check the checkboxes based on
          that.
