Hi Admin,
when I fill a form and I refresh the page, I see the values of the input field are still there even if the real values of the input fields could be different.
This is due to the browser. The browser shows what it is the last value set in the input field, and it doesn't consider what the HTML contains.

solutions:
1) use the attribute autocomplete="off" in the input fields
2) set cookies for the input fields
3) use some javascript to check the real value of the input fields and what it is shown to the user.

I jumped and started to work on a demo component... but 2 days later this demo component became the real component. I just showed today the end result to my customer and he turned to me and said... "this is more than I expected"... All of this is because Cook did cut about 70% of my work and provided me more ways to improve the usability of the component. The end result was 17 tables all related between than to generate a full dashboard for the travel agents. Thanks for Cook developers for such great tool. This component would not be possible to be done at short time with all the features in it
