HTML forms Expert advice needed

How do I enable html forms to save and remember input data, even if the browser is closed or if the user mover forward or backwards through pages

Put the data into a database when the form is submitted - or is that not
what you are asking?

I think what you are asking is to have automatic saving of forms as the user
types.

This can get very involved and potentially cause lag if the user has a slow
connection.
Take a look at AJAX
You can use AJAX to update a database, and should be able to set the trigger
onChange or onkeypress or such like.
Probably better to do an auto save every X minutes (as seen in Google's
GMail).

I'm afraid I'm just starting on the AJAX route myself so can't be of too
much help (just done my first inline AJAX mail back form).
