Retain last value in text box

Question

Hi all,
I created a html page to the content server. In that page I created a popup. When I call the popup I can write some text in the textbox to do a search on my database. Then, the results are displayed in the popup. However, if I want to do a new search I have to write again in the text box. My question is: How can I retain the last thing that I wrote in text box? (only when the popup is open)
Like the content server does when we click on Quick Search. It shows the results and retain the value on the search box.
Thanks in advance,

Hey RSS,
Yes correct, you have to change <input type="text" id="designation" name="designation" value="">
so your line will look like this:
<input type="text" id="designation" name="designation" value="javascript:document.getElementById('designation');">
My javascript is a bit rusty so if that doesn't work try: value="javascript:document.getElementById('designation').value;
(adding a .value at the end)
Another way of doing it can be by modifying your line <form name="Entities" method="POST" action="<$HttpCgiPath$>"> and say:
<form name="Entities" method="POST" onclick="document.getElementById('designation').value=
document.getElementById('designation').value" action="<$HttpCgiPath$>">
NOTE: for this last one to work u need to have that inside javascript tags, or add "avascript:" at the begining like I did for the input value above.
Cheers,
