The Form's ACTION Tag

The form's ACTION tag needs to have:

1.A name="formname" attribute. Change "formname" to any name for the form that makes sense to you.

2. An onSubmit="RememberFormFields('formname','_____');" attribute.

Replace formname with the name you gave the form.

Replace _____ with a list of this form's fields that you want the browser to remember so it can pre-fill those fields in this and other forms. The form field names are separated with a comma, like

fieldname1,fieldname2,fieldname3

The demonstration page has examples.
