#16758 — form clears

Anyone know why a form clears when I go back to it?

All of the fields seem to clear on this form if there's an error and I hit the back button:

Thanks.

As the value in the input tag is not set to a value, it will be empty.
When you display the error, you should have a button/link which takes
you back to the form, you also store the values to a session.
When you display the form you check in your session if there are any
values set, if, then populate the value in each input from the session.
Remove the values from the session as you have repopulated them.

The basic answer is that you are loading a new copy of the html.
some browsers will reload the prior values, FireFox does, but as 
noted by J.O. Aho it really is your responsibility to handle that.
