If you know the information you can use:
<input type="text" name="login" value="userlogin" >

If (after the original submission) you store the information in a cookie,
then you can read the cookie that is sent to the server from the browser
each time.

An alternate approach might be to have client-side javascript writing a
cookie, then having script read the cookie and refill the form - but that
approach seems more complicated to me (since I originally learned the
server-side methodology)
