jQuery Storage and retrieval form state (with data) -

is there way store form state in example cookie , retrieval ?
checked serialize api have no idea how retrieval serialized data on form.
possible?

update

i putted code here. check javascript code after // end of cookie plugin becasue sure jquery plugin works right.

yes, can serialize form values serialize(). syntax:

$("#your_form").serialize() 

will return string can handle, or save cookie (you can use jquery cookie plugin).

edit: above code serialize, hard retrieve.
should better use serializearray(), returns array of name value pairs ( like: [{name: "age", value: "23"}, {name: "sex", value: "male"}]). can see docs better explanation.

with that, can build "form string" function , "string form" function:

function form2string($form) {   return json.stringify($form.serializearray()); }  function string2form($form, serializedstr) {   var fields = json.parse(serializedstr);   for(var = 0; < fields.length; i++){     var controlname = fields[i].name;     var controlvalue = fields[i].value;     $form.find('[name=' + controlname + ']').val(controlvalue);   } } 

use form2string serialize , string2form set string form. store , retrive serialization, can use cookie plugin.

hope helps. cheers

ps: json methods work in modern browsers
