Can we store form values at client side?
Hi all,
I want to store the form values of a web page to store somewhere at client side. Actually I want to keep log of my operators what are they searching for on web site and then generate weekly report on that log. I want the url, form field name and value (given by operator) in a text file or any other format.
Any tool can be use to develop this. I am sure this is possible, as I know some software that automatically fill your forms on web according to our previous values entered. Also IE do this. But I don't know how to develop this. I need your help.
Thanks
Abdul Qadir Khan.

I think you did not get my point. Assume we are doing some resarch work here in my company. I have given this task to 3 operators here in my company to do research about a particular topic. I want to track these 3 operators, what web site they have gone, what values they have entered in the forms shown to them on different sites. I am not developing any web site, I want to track my operators. These information will be stored in background automatically on opertor's PC.
How to do this?

Whats wrong with EE, I have sent my comment once and it repeated again and again.
Pleae ignore all these repeated comments

at the top left corner of the page is a link to "Reload This Question"
you should use that instead of hitting refresh, as refresh will keep reposting your last response since you are resubmitting the data.
if a moderator/programmer of this website reads this, why not include a check like "if newtext is already in db, don't reinsert into db" ? it seems to be a large problem throughout the site.

hi agk139,
The logs gives u the incoming and outgoing traffic, but to capture the form inputs u need to use a key logging software like "Perfect Keylogger". It has lot of features. Worth Exploring.

if you post your language, it will be easier to point you in the direction of an article to read.
ex:
if you want coldfusion, you can use:
<cfcookie name="field_name_seached" value="#form.field_name_se
then when the user goes to the form again you can do:
<form ...>
<cfif isdefined("cookie.form_fie
<input type="formtype" name="form_field_name" value="#cookie.form_field_
<cfelse>
<input type="formtype" name="form_field_name">
</cfif>
</form>
if you want asp, check: www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/051099-1.shtml
however, it doesn't make much sense in your question. you say you want to store client side and run reports. to run reports, you would need to store on server side, in a db. you would give a user a cookie with say the value of the ID field to lookup in the DB. Then when the user comes back, you query the db to find thier last search, and then make the field equal to that and run reports from the db.
