I have a view in my app which has a text box, based on the value entered by the user the graphs are generated. I want to persist the value entered in the textbox so that whenever the user returns at that page it gets populated with the same entered value.

Is there any way to do this or is there any other way so that i can get a user input and generate graphs based on the input.

Thanks !!1

So you have a form.

You should populate the form with a "default" value, if you are using simple XML this is just something like...

<input type="text" token="username">
    <default>Cosmo</default>
</input>

You should then use the "allowSoftSubmit" option/param for the "SubmitButton" module, unfortunately (or maybe not) this is only available in advanced XML (unsure what format you are using).

Hope this helps get you on the way.
