jQuery Autosave provides a way for a page's code to detect user input inside a form field.
When this happens events are triggered by the plugin which make it easy for the developer to take the form's current state and save it for later usage.
The plugin itself does not autosave anything, but merely provides the functionality to have the data saved by a server-side backend. Developers still need to write this server-side code to manipulate with the actual saved data.
jQuery Autosave also provides methods for ignoring certain fields, all by adding the "autosave-ignore" class to the desired form fields.
Other customizable options include shutdown conditions, time-based save intervals, the URL of the autosaving function and various other more.
What is new in this release:
- Simplified plugin by eliminating additional monitor.
- Added isDirty() method.
- Uses serialization from jQuery 1.4.2 and no longer needs the form plugin.
Requirements:
- JavaScript enabled on client side
- jQuery 1.3 or higher
