Love your Autosave Forms script! However I found a bug. In start() the first 'for' loop loops to i.length, it should be looping up to f.length (on some pages, this prevents the script from getting as far as setting the save events) Cheers!

I've been trying to use this script and have not been able to get it to work. I can never find a "repopulate" button.

I'm assuming that this comment box is a form, and that the "reply to message" pages on various BB sites are forms and that they're all eligible for auto save forms.

I have asf enabled in grease monkey, and have the default * page enabled.

Is there any more documentation?

Am I doing something wrong?

OK

It's working now. Don't know what was wrong.

I really love this script, and have been immensely frustrated by lost form data countless times.

I'm writing a lengthy reply and tweaking the words to get it just right, something happens, like hitting a wrong key, and bam I've lost everything.

Wonderful script

Thank You.

Finally, numbered Google results! Thanks Dave, you're great :)

I’d propose not clearing the saved form data on the submit.

In a number of cases that data can be desired after submitting. For example, there are BB’s that discard your form data if you attempt to post a message before having logged in. It just happened to me with a very long message, and I was so happy to have auto save form. Only to discover that the data is also discarded by ASF on the submit.

Any real downside in letting the data survive?

I modified the script for my personal use, but just thought I'd mention it here.

I appreciate Autosave Forms, and have updated my copy to bind the cookie to location.pathname (the page containing the form), as opposed to the hard-coded "/" of the original script. That way, data for sites that have more than one form doesn't get clobbered. The change consists of changing this:

"; path="/;";

to this:

"; path=" + location.pathname + ";";

at the end of the last line of the clear and setCookie functions.

I also moved the repopulate box further into the upper-right corner of the page, because (even as small as it was), it was in the way.

That's the beauty of the monkey: anyone can get a little grease under their fingernails.

I installed both your Number Google Results (very righteous) and some other Google customizing extension (maybe CustomizeGoogle extension [customizegoogle.com]), because Google is my universe.

I ended up turning the extension's results numbering *off* because they obviously don't get it, while you obviously do. They numbered only the results that were not indented (the first hit for a given site), so that a page of 100 results was numbered from (say) 1 to 75. Very strange.

Thanks for getting it right.

Looking into getting a comment box [maybe one such as this] for my site.

THANKS!!!

I've added this function to the (free) blog hosting service I created. My members are gonna be quite happy! :)

Autosave script.

Do I add this script to the default domain page?

Where in the script would I do this.

I have some survey forms that are created on the fly from a database and this would be a great add on should I be able to get it to work.
