[Javascript] Re: Javascript digest, Vol 1 #670 - 8 msgs

Glenn,

You have three choices.

1.  Save the data in a cookie.  There are lots of available routines for 
this.
2.  Useing a frameset, store the data in an invisible frame.
3.  open a small window, put your data in the new window, switch forms, 
get data from window, close window.

I vote for 1 if possible as long as your data is less than 4k in length.
If 1 is not possible, 2 is better than 3 because the temporary window 
will distract users.

Others have already suggested the first two options.  Are they unusable 
in your situation?

Have a nice day.
