The answer was a pretty helpful answer. Thank you. I'll fly this past you
just to get your ideas though.
I have an administrative page with lots of form information broken up into
logical divs (clients info, address, contact information, pop information
and so forth). [Visual description best seen in mono-spaced font.]
At the top of the page I have a "function bar" where clicking on a name
(ie: Notes) changes the class of a div from hidden to visible. All divs
are "hidden" by default, and display only when it's name on a "function
bar" is clicked.
"Function bar"
| Client Info | CONTACT | Notes | Account Details |
|-------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------|
| Client Info (hidden/invisible) |
|-------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------|
| Contact (on/visible) |
| |
| |
| Contact related form-part here |

| Notes (hidden/invisible) |
|-------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------|
| Account Details (hidden/invisible) |
|-------------------------------------------------|
Problem is when I submit a form and it reloads, all the divs are hidden by
default, and thus it's a disconnect for the user. I want to append the
values of the visible divs to a url with the values of "on" or "off" so
that on reload, the divs that were open show as such.
I might have something like this
?notes=on&contact_info=on
so that on reload these divs "un hide" themselves, as the user had before
form submission.
Kind of long-winded. Sorry.
