Your need to feed the last known value to your inputs, i.e.:

<input type=text name=email value="[value email]">

<select name=Model>
<option value="A" [selected Model A]> A
<option value="B" [selected Model B]> B
</select>

<input type=radio name=Type value=standard [checked Type standard]> Standard
<input type=radio name=Type value=automatic [checked Type automatic]> Automatic

...and so forth.
