Question

Hello!
Please help me with this problem.
I need to preserve the values I have entered in a textbox even if I shifted from one page to another, but currently, if I did some changes on the current page(ex: page 2) and I shifted to another page(page 3), if I returned to the previous page (page 2), the changes I made were no longer reflected.
In addition, I have to save whatever changes I made to all the pages I have, but everytime I shift pages, it goes back to its original value.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks a lot!

of course you can preserve it.
Make an array on the number of records you wish that will come from the database.. let say you have 50.. The as you click the button submit the page. The action must be set to itself.. So you can request for the values of the textbox.. In your case you can request for 10 values because you have 10 records per page.. Now save the values in your array. the array will serve as the temporary storage.. you can put it on session for you to be able to get the values easily..
You can if the array now has values on it, you can now assign it to your textboxes.. lets say
on page 1:
<input type="text" name="textBox1" value<%=YourArray[0]%>
<input type="text" name="textBox2" value<%=YourArray[1]%>
<input type="text" name="textBox3" value<%=YourArray[2]%>
<input type="text" name="textBox4" value<%=YourArray[3]%>
.on page 2:
<input type="text" name="textBox1" value<%=YourArray[10]%>
<input type="text" name="textBox2" value<%=YourArray[11]%>
<input type="text" name="textBox3" value<%=YourArray[12]%>
<input type="text" name="textBox4" value<%=YourArray[13]%>
.that is my analysis to your problem.. Hope it will help.
