##A jQuery plugin for automatic webstorage www.phunkei.de
REQUIREMENTS
You need jQuery to run this plugin. I used jQuery v1.6.4 to develope this plugin, but older versions may handle it too. Your browser needs support for webstorage stuff.
HOWTO
Just call autoStorage() on any set of forms (e.g. $('form').autoStorage();) and the values will be saved in the specified webstorage by submitting the form and reloaded by reloading the page.
IMPORTANT
-
Every form needs a unique name.
-
Every element in the form needs a unique name (except radiobuttons).
-
For element names containing array-brackets, use indeces. (e.g name[1], name[2] ... multipe fields with the same name will cause overwriting data)
SETTINGS / PARAMETERS
-
"storageType" : "local" | "session"
Define the type of storage. At the moment there is no support for sqlite (As it is absolutely useless due a lack of support by most browsers). The default is "local". If you are new to the webstorage feature: "localStorage" keeps the data like forever while "sessionStorage" is a temporary storage, that will be deleted after you quit your browser.
-
"exclude" : ["element1", "element2" ... ]
Pass an array with element names to exclude from storage.
-
"submit" : true | false
Defines wether the form will be submitted. Set this to false, for ajax like forms.
EXAMPLE
$(document).ready( function() {
$('form').autoStorage( {
'submit' : true,
'storageType' : 'local',
'exclude' : ['textfield1', 'textfield2']
});
