[jQuery] .html() only works on original source?
Hi all,
I'm trying to save the content of a form into a hidden div, so I can
bring it back later.
However, I also want to save the user's progress on the form. I
thought I could just dump $('#form').html() into the hidden div, but
this seems to only remember the original html, no new value attributes
exist even after I've entered some text.
I tested with something like this:
$('body').find(':input').each(
function()
{
alert($(this).attr('name')+": "+$(this).val()+", "+$(this).attr
('value'));
//.val() and .attr(val) are always up to date
and consistent
alert(""+$(this).parent().html());
//inconsistent with .attr(val) above, seems to
be the original only
}
);
An obvious work around would be to iterate through the inputs
explicitly setting the value atribute to .val(), which I assume would
work, but it seems there must be a more elegant way...
Is there something like .liveHtml()? Or another solution?
Thanks in advance...
