How do you save a form in HTML? (Correct answer: You don't.)

There's a lot you haven't told us.

Which redisplay? Since the problem seems to be in this "redisplay", which is
presumably an HTML document, you could start from saving a sample page,
dummifying any secret or sensitive data, uploading the page on a www server,
and posting the URL.

Specifically, is the input string redisplayed in an <input> element, in a
<textarea> element, or outside any form field element, e.g. in a <div> or
<td> element?
