Forms advice for JQM beginner please?

in jQuery Mobile • 9 years ago

REPOSTING in the right forum:

Hi,

I have built a simple form with a few data fields but I now want to:

intercept the Submit button to run some JavaScript to write the values to LocalStorage variables instead of posting to a server.
Clear the fields and ready the form for another data entry.

Can you advise the right techniques for doing this with JQueryMobile?

Thanks

1. Create a submit event handler as you would do in jQuery. Be sure to use event.preventDefault() or return false appropriately. In that event handler you can then do whatever you want to do. I hope I am right in assuming you know jQuery.

2. A few techniques for resetting a form have been suggested on this forum and elsewhere. I normally use the following:

$('formid')[0].reset()
