    After submission of form for validation, if improper data, when user returns all correct data is lost as originally submitted.

    Anyone have a suggestion?

    What browser are you using? I am afraid that is a user agent issue, some keep the data you entered and some don’t.

    Michael,

    As Ingmar says it is a user agent issue. It is the default behaviour of your browser.

    You can avoid this by using a JavaScript validator on your forms maybe. Which doesn’t allow a user to proceed until they have completed form successfully

    Does that help?
