how to recall data in form

I would like to be able to recall member's data so they can have it automatically fill if they return to the form to make corrections or small changes to data in the text boxes etc. Is that possible? If so how? My members have a lot of data to enter and after the "submit" button is hit, the form data is lost and if the have to go back to the form, they have to re-enter all their data again. Thanks for any help.

You can use 'web storage' option of the form to save data between sessions. Note that this only stores the data locally in the browser.

Thanks Pablo, much appreciated. I'll check that out.

Hi Pablo, I used the "Web Storage" system and it works great. I added 2 more buttons next to SUBMIT which gives members the option to completely reset/clear the data OR restore the last set of data (using java script) that they submitted. Win - Win!
Thanks for the tip and have a great day!
