keeping values in a form if not completed

[shsh]

hello.
i build a store in ASP. i have a problem with the form.
1. i have to write a space in the value of the text boxes, so it won't have an error.
2. i keep the values from the client in sessions, and present them at the values with response.write.
3. if the client did not fill the form correctly he will get a notice, the values are kept but becuase of the spaces (where the client did not fill a text box) i get an erroe that the field must be filled.

how can i avoid it?
thank you
shsh

why do you need to write spaces? are you connecting to a database? if so I have had this problem before, in access its just a case of turning on the allow nulls in the table designer for each field. It should then work without needing the spaces and solve your problem? else you need to store all your values temporarily in a cookie or session variable etc.

hope this helps somehow
