"Remember Me" checkbox?

"Remember Me" checkbox?

The client is requesting a 'remember me' checkbox where the user inputs their billing and shipping address. I'm not sure this is ideal as opposed to a login system. But in any case, I know I've seen it in a login system. I assume the approach would be to have the system store all the data on the page in a cookie if the box was checked, and then check for the cookie when visiting the page.

What webassist tools would I use to accomplish this?

use the Cookies toolkit included in security Assist and Data Bridge to store the entered information in cookies if the box is checked.

Validation Value vs Cookie Value

For many of the form fields I want to remember with a cookie, they currently have their values set from form validation, so if there is a validation issue the form autofills the previous entry. How do I set a form field so it fills with cookie data initially, and validation data upon return to the page? Or, do I have to do this with two separate pages (create a secondary page for invalid validation correction)?

This is the value that currently exists in the input value before I apply cookie data:
<?php echo(ValidatedField("confirm_01","billing_business")) ?>

You would probably change that to use an IF statement so that it would show the cookie if the validated field didn't exist... something like:


<?php echo(ValidatedField("confirm_01","billing_business ")?ValidatedField("confirm_01","billing_business "):$_COOKIE['billing_business']) ?>
