Staying Alive

Saves your form data client side between page reloads.

Just like gmail you can now have the data typed in textareas and input fields saved when a tab is closed by accident or the browser crashes. stayingalive.js is 100% client side and with one line of javascript you can save a single field or all the input and textarea fields in a form. Works for multiple pages on your site. Demo: http://drorm.github.com/stayingalive/

Usage

$('#form1').stayingalive();//preserve all textareas and fields in the form
$('#input1').stayingalive();//preserve this input field
$('#textarea1').stayingalive();//preserve this textarea

##Params stayingalive() takes an object as an argument:

{
	scope: scope of the form. Defaults to  window.location.pathname(current URL)
	ttl: how long to keep the info in local storage
}

You need to assign a unique id or pass an id as an argument to the fields or forms that are preserved. Class selectors are not supported since:

1. A unique id is needed to save the field in the browser.
2. The script could generate a unique id based on position, but that's a fragile solution since moving fields around will result in wrong data showing in existing forms.

Requirements

In addition to stayingalive.js you need:

• jquery
• json2.js (for legacy browser support)
• jstorage.js

Or you can get all of these from CDN
