i'm programming in web using php, and javascript , and this is a general question i'd like to ask, normally upon page refresh everything that is in a textarea or input gets deleted;
Is there a way to retain the user inputs, typed characters or checked checkboxes?without saving into session? or do i really need to save it? Thank you!
(i'm not talking about form submit that leads to reload, but just plain typing into textarea and then pressing the refresh button.)
