You didn't specify the route which the user will take to get back to the page. Was it the same day with a back-button or a month later?

With that missing, you can only ensure the data will persist if you store it server-side (I don't like cookies or flash cookies and there's no guarantee with those, anyway). Then, if you have a means of recognizing the user you can retrieve their data when the page is requested.

Since you can't guarantee what a user will do from any given page (such as how they leave it) you need to store the data as soon as its entered. See AJAX for that kind of capability. AJAX is also another means to request the data - but you still need to store it somewhere between trips to the page.
