How to retain form values after form submit through jquery?

Question

I have form name as myForm with two elements dropdown and autocomplete() textbox. If an end-user selects the value on the dropdown and give a suggestions on the autocomplete (tokens) and click an apply button to get the search results matching our inputs.

My Screen Input : HTML Screen

My problem here is to retain the form values after submitting the form through jquery. My code is here:

$("#myForm").submit(function(){
    $('#myForm').attr("method","post");
    $('#myForm').attr('action','http://localhost:8080/LscaSearch/');
    $('#myForm').submit();
});

I wanted to retain the form values after submit the form. Any help on this?

You are using a normal post-back and not jQuery+Ajax (my bad, this is mad) :)... Forget retaining them client-side as the page is lost! They need to be returned from server-side (or switch to Ajax as Nikhil Talreja suggests). — iCollect.it Ltd

What is your server technology? PHP? .Net? most support hidden value passing and serializing custom controls. — iCollect.it Ltd

You can use asynchronous form submission using jQuery AJAX. That way you can show the results on the same page without having to refresh it.

I think I preferred when you had jQueasy :)

You really need to show a practical example as I suspect they don't know where to start with Ajax (or they would already be using it!)
