I'm trying to figure out the best way to accomplish something. I have a site set up that people will be entering data into online forms. I have a div tag set up and formatted so that it will hold the forms and scroll if necessary. What I would like to do is to have the contents of the forms saved in files external to the webpage. On clicking the link in the menu system, I would like the div to fill with the appropriate content from that external file.

So, I guess the question is, how would I write the click behaviour to pull stuff in from the external file and fill that div?
Thanks

The easiest way would probably be to store the data in a cookie.

More complicated and only available in IE: persistence [msdn.microsoft.com], a technique where data is stored in some sort of xml files. One advantage over cookies is that persistence offers more storage space.

So, what's it gonna be ;)
