Query Strings and Storing Persistent Information
Overview
As Web forms get longer, we very commonly see them split across multiple pages to collect all of the necessary information. There are different reasons for this. A long form can be daunting for users and a large/long form can be difficult for users to fill out on a mobile device. These forms need to be designed so that the data entered by the user on the forms on each page will be submitted to the Web server simultaneously. This makes more sense as they are part of the same data set. The problem with stateless pages is that if the user moves from one page to the next, the data entered is lost. To bypass this issue, you will need to use query strings, hidden input fields, and cookies.
In this assignment you will use the previously created registration.html file to send information to a second page named confirm.html. You will write a script on that page that will save the information from the form to a cookie and then display it on a same page. If the user goes back to this confirm.html page, the page should display the user form data from the registration entry that was last entered.
Hello Nyashadzashe! To add to your thoughts, health statistics commonly look at four different types of information – correlation, condition, care, and cost. Health correlations refer to health risk factors, including social, economic, physical, and personal behaviors. Health conditions include both the prevalence and incidence of diseases and conditions. Incidence can be looked at as the number of new diseases or conditions, divided by how many people are at risk of the diseases or conditions. Prevalence is the proportional level of individuals affected by the diseases or conditions to a measured population at a specific time. Statistics regarding care include investigating how health care is provided throughout communities. Statistics related to costs provide information related to healthcare costs (National Library…, 2020).

Tips:
It will help to output the array into the browser console so that you can verify that the string is being correctly parsed. Details on the browser console can be found in the Resources.
To skip having to enter data into the form each time to test, it may help to create a JavaScript function that automatically fills in the fields for you and comment it out when completed.
Directions
Read the Overview.
Modify the “registration.html” page created in the prior assessment to send a query (that has all input field information from that form) to a second page. When the user presses submit, all of the input fields from the registration.html form will be saved into a cookie. The user should then be forwarded to a second page (confirm.html (created by you)) that will read the cookie information and display it in a name/value pair using JavaScript.
Make sure to do the following:
Create and integrate a script on the registration.html page passes all of the input fields from the form when the submit button is pressed.
Create a confirm.html page will read in the input from the query string data from the registration.html page and store them into variables first.
Write a script that runs in response to the submit event, that saves the input from the registration.html page to a series of cookies to store each input, and opens a second page called confirm.html that reads and displays information from all the fields.
Once completed, view your pages in each of your two selected Web browsers to see if the content renders appropriately and consistently within each. Next, verify that your code is error-free using the appropriate browser-specific development tool found in the Resources. Take a screen capture of each of your validation results and save it for submission.
Example assignments: You may use the assignment examples, linked in the Resources, to give you an idea of what a Proficient or higher rating on the scoring guide would look like.
Submission Requirements
Upload your Web site files to your Web host.
Submit your work in the courseroom using a single Zip file containing the following:
Your entire Web site and all associated files.
A Word document with:
The url to your Web site so faculty can view your site on a live host.
A screen capture of each of your two validations that you completed using the developer tools found in the Resources.
