Here is the answer to your question.. hope this will help everyone..
@Macke - your approach for setting values after submission is really good, but when we have lot of elements on form.. let's say 1000 - it become pain in AS*.. 
Add this script tag in your HEAD tag of the page - 
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    var obj = JSON.parse('<?= json_encode($_REQUEST) ?>');
    console.log(obj);
    function __setPostBackValue(element){
        if(obj.length <= 0) return;
        var type = element.type;
        var fval;
        console.log('Processing...'+ element.name);
        try{
            eval('fval = obj'+'.'+element.name);
        }
        catch(ex){
        }
        if(type == 'text'){
            element.value = fval; 
        }
        if(type == 'checkbox'){                    
            if(fval != undefined)
                element.setAttribute("checked","on");                        
        }
        if(type == 'radio'){                    
            if(fval != undefined && element.value == fval)
                element.setAttribute("checked","on");                        
        }
    }
</script>
and at the bottom of the page, yes at the bottom of the page (before body ends) add another script tag -
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
            var fields = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
            for(var i=0;i<fields.length;i++){
                __setPostBackValue(fields[i]);
            }
        </script> 
What it does ?
When you submit your form, var obj = JSON.parse('<?= json_encode($_REQUEST) ?>'); this creates local JSON Object usable by Javascript - and the script we added at the end of the page.. loop through all elements and call __setPostBackValue function. Where we are setting the values of the elements by Javascript.
This is little bit tricky but it works..!!
PS: I had no radio button in my page, but if you have you can add it easily.
