How to get IE to remember textbox inputs?

[Stupendous]

Developing a web application. A page has textbox. It would be nice if it remembered previous inputs. Does IE do this (remember and then display them to you) by default or do you have to do something special for the page?

Thanks

It's calle "autocompletion". It's on by default in IE 6, but it can be turned off by the user. I expect it usually is.

You could store them in a mysql table with php but it seems like it wouldnt really be worth the effort.

Or instead of relying on Javascript that may be turned off, use session variables.

It was turned off in IE. I think our IT department turns it off with their OS builds.

when you say remember previous inputs do you mean from previous formposts, or from a different visit to the site?

Those would only last the length of the browsers session time.

I agree, mysql is a bit too much jsut for that. And how many pages does it need to be held throughout? Each visit, only for the next page, the duration of the browser window being open ... ?
