Hidden fields with attribute "data-sayt-exclude" are still being removed when data is changed in the form.

When the form is restored, the fields are not being updated visually but they are updated by value. So if I submit the form, different values will come through. what was saved, than what is shown. Any ideas?

An old bug has reappeared in v1.4.5. When you exclude fields from saving, it also removes them from the actual form. Your previous fix method of changing getFormData() to use $.extend() doesn't work now, at least in Chrome. The extend is doing a shallow copy so all the fields are by reference. Change the workingObject and theform changes as well. Even adding extend(true,{}, theform); didn't help.

I've rewritten it so it no longer needs cloning at all. Simpler filtering routine. Removes items from the save list without affecting the original form.

    /*
    * Serialize the form data, omit excluded fields marked with data-sayt-exclude attribute.
    */
    function getFormData(theform, excludeSelectors) {
      // almost all useable clone methods pass by reference
      // so I went to a filter style fix on the DOM elements.

      excludeSelectors.push('[data-sayt-exclude]'); // Add attribute selector to the list
      $elements = theform.find(':input[name]'); //All fields with names
      $elements = $elements.not(excludeSelectors.join()); //multi select
      var form_data = $elements.serializeArray();
      return form_data;
    }

multiple checkboxes with the same name(used to fill a collection for example) are not working, I can't restore correctly if I select 2 checks, works fine if I check only one

Erase form - Not working when using LocalStorage (Firefox 43). It does clear the cookie on WP8-IE.

Plugin doesn't work with cKeditor textarea

I have a form where I use jquery plugin Select2 where the rescue data does not change the selected value.

Hello, very good work on this project.

I experience an issue with radio buttons. They are not saving. Inputs are rendered on the html via ajax like so, considering this comes in a loop:

<tr>
<td>
 <input title="action" id="ft_ac1" type="radio" name="forward_type1" class="form-check-input">
<input title="cc" id="ft_cc1" type="radio" name="forward_type1" class="form-check-input">
</td>
</tr>

Hi,

I am new to Jquery. In my project, we have save-as-you-type autosave requirement. I tried using this plugin, but I was unable to make it work.

I am following these steps. Correct me if I am doing wrong anywhere.

1. I have created sample html with one input field.
2. In this html, I am using this function.

I have put some alert messages inside plugin. So plugin was detected but was not able to autosave data into cookies.
I guess this piece code is not getting executed

this.contents().find('input').each(function(index)

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ranjan.

For some reason my whole form saves EXCEPT the textarea. Not sure whats going on there.

SAYT retains the checkboxes that were checked but does not record the values of checkboxes that were unchecked. To work around this I suggest unchecking all checkboxes in the checkbox group initially and then SAYT can check the checkboxes with the stores values:

$.each(field_names_array, function(key, value)
{
    if(strpos(value, ':::--MULTISELECTSPLITTER--:::') > 0)
    {
    $('input[name="+ $key +"]').prop('checked', false);

Hi Ben, interesting plugin! I just wonder: Is there any way to exclude certain form fields from saving (and recovering)? If not, would you appreciate such a pull request? :)

I tried using the plugin but I found inputs ( some radio buttons ) placed in 'exclude' or with the data-sayt-exclude attribute are removed from the DOM in Firefox 38.0.5. I assume this is caused by elementsToRemove.remove().

I have made changes to fix it. I will make a pull request with the changes shortly.

Hello,
I am using a summernote wysiwyg editor on Asp.net Core. I was change for elements div to textarea. like a ;
@

but steel sayt not save to cookie textarea content. Have you any idea for the subject ?
thanks

ps : summer note (https://summernote.org)

Any way to add the session id to the cookie along with the form id? As is, my first test shows a separate user will see the saved data from the first user and this is not acceptable behavior for our app.

Thanks

No need for cookie when localstorage exists (can be added with an option I guess).

First off, thanks for this plugin, it's really brilliant.

I don't know if you would consider this a bug or a feature, but values for form fields that are hidden seem to be also being saved which is causing trouble for forms that need hidden values (like account numbers, form numbers, etc.) to be submitted to, say, a third-party payment gateway. If the hidden values are changed by the form creator, those people who visited the form previously will still have the old values in their forms.

This, IMHO, is not very handy considering there's no way for the user to update this or any call for them to need to since this should be provided by us, the form's creators.

I have now added the code to exclude them from being saved, but hadn't done it before since I never even considered that the plugin would save this data.

Thanks.

When I add data-sayt-exclude to an element, it disappears from the page as soon as I type any data into the form. Reading the code, it should only be removing the element from theformClone. I don't know what I'm doing to cause this behavior. Has anyone seen this?
