localStorage to save answer to form until it is sent to server

[Raniere Silva]

Hi all,

I have some text area on my form that I expected that the user will take

a few minutes to answer and I want to avoid them to need to type

everything again if something happen (e.g. their device got out of

battery). Something that I think I could use is localStorage to store

the temporary answer. I couldn't find a native solution to my problem

neither a package. Did I missed something? Or I'm on the wrong path?

Cheers,

Raniere

localStorage is a client-side technology. You interact with that using
javascript.
Django only deal with the server-side.

If the text area you are talking about is in the django's admin, you
should take a look at how third party providing rich editing textarea
are doing.

I have a copy of Mark Pilgrim's HTML5 Up and Running. Chapter 7 probably
covers everything you want. Here are chapter 7 section headings copied
from the O'Reilly site. Google "html5 up and running" and that site
appears at the top of the list.

Raniere,

Another possibility is to do the temporary storage on the server
instead of the client.  Use JavaScript to make an occasional Ajax
call to the server to store the current data in the session.  Don't
necessarily have to store it in the DB.  Make the occasional calls
based on a JavaScript timer or something.  Many web-based tools
use this technique.  For example, Google Docs.
