acidbox Bipolar (III) Inmate From: purgatory Insane since: Mar 2001	posted 01-06-2002 00:09 I am using DHTML to expand/collapse certain sections of a rather lenghy form I have created. The problem I am having is when someone submits the form and they forget to fill in certain information in that form. Currently, the form resets, and the DHTML sections return to their defaulted state of "collapsed". How do I get the browser to recognize that those sections are "expanded", and have it keep them expanded even when the browser window is "refreshed". I was thinking that this might have something to do with cookies or sessions or something, but I am not really sure. Does anyone have any information about this?

Of course you should also write JS function that will be executed on page load event which reads cookie value and set visibility of layers accordingly...
