Search term to stay in search field after search

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 10.2010

Hello.

I have a search field on the website, and when I type a word to search, it search good, but after preforming the search, the search term from search text field disappears and become the default ‘Search’ word.

How can I make search term stay in search field after preforming a search ?

For example, when I type into the search field ‘JavaScript’ I want that term to stay in search field and after the search is done.

Thank you in advance.

@WolfShadeDec 10.2010 — If you are developing in a dynamic language like PHP, ASP, or ColdFusion, it's simple - just set a session variable with that value and set the session variable as the default value of the search field.

If you're not using a dynamic language, you could use JavaScript to set a cookie with that value, then on page load look for the cookie - if it exists, get the value and use JavaScript to set the value of the field with the cookie value.
