When you submit data it is stored in $this->request->data (or $this->data in 1.3). Assuming this data is not overwritten, it is then passed to the view. The form helper sees this and automatically populates the fields.
If you're not using the form helper, you will need to manually tell your input field to use the data if it is defined. You can check to see if the data is persisted by debugging the data that is passed to the view. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
