cluce Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I am creating an account management page that shows the user's contact information and I would like to populate the textfields so that the user doesn't have to type in all his information when he wants to change something. I want to have him type in only the information he wants to change or update. I already have the data displayed on the page. But now I would like to take the data and fill in the textfields with it. If somone show me a small example would appreciate it?
