Question: how to create a sub form type functionality and go back to main form

[ikeamanual]

Hi,

This is not really a Jsonform question, but a Javascript question about using forms ...

I have a jsonform custom select field with a datalist. If the user enters a unknown value, I want to present a new form so that he can enter more information about the new value.

I have created the new page with a new seperate Jsonform in newStoreForm.html.
When the user enters an unkown value I do:

window.location = "newStoreForm.html";

In the onSubmit() of the newStoreForm I do:

window.history.back(); return false;

I go back but all my previous info is gone and the original page is reloaded...
(By the way, I am running all this locally without a server in node-webkit http://nwjs.io/.)

Is there a way to achieve this functionality without manually storing the whole state of the main page and rebuilding it manually?

Maybe use the newStoreForm jsonform in jquery Dialog?
Any examples?

thanks,

Peter
