I want to keep the value of the user input (e.g. text box value) displayed after page refresh by a javascript.
The following test web page is used.
The alerts appear before and after the page refresh as expected on all browsers (FF, Chrome, Opera & IE).
The input value in a text box still appear after page refresh for IE but not FF, Chrome, Opera.
Please help to make it work for FF, Chrome, Opera.
