Session in client side

[Avi]

Hello,

I have a page. In that I am showing dropdown list. According to the values I am viewing the tables.
When I am selecting values from the dropdown, it renders a table & views it.
Everything is happening on client side. When I refresh the page, it goes to the fist value in the dropdown (rather I should be in the last selected dropdown value).
How can I manage this in client side session ?

Thanks

I don't understand what you mean by client side session. If you mean
how to use the session variable in rails then have a look at the Rails
Guide on Active Controller, it has a section of the use of the session
variable.

While you are at it work through all the other guides, they will
answer many of your questions.

Also work right through a tutorial such as railstutorial.org which
will introduce you to the basics of Rails.

Here is my code :-

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
          $('#table_user_registration').dataTable({
            "bJQueryUI": true,
            "sPaginationType": "full_numbers"
        });
        $('#table_download_file').dataTable({
            "bJQueryUI": true,
            "sPaginationType": "full_numbers"
        });
        $('#table_user_activation').dataTable({
            "bJQueryUI": true,
            "sPaginationType": "full_numbers"
        });
        $("#user_registration").show(); // Default I am setting to this on coming to this page. How can I change this ?
    });
   
     var chng = "user_registration";
     function audit_options(selected_audit){
        $("#"+ chng ).hide();
        $("#" + selected_audit ).show();
        chng = selected_audit;
     }
   
</script>

<select id="audit_options" onchange="audit_options(this.value);" >
    <option value="user_registration">User Registration</option>
    <option value="download_file">File Download</option>
    <option value="user_activation">User Activation</option>
</select>

<div id="user_registration" style="display: none" >
    I have here my Table 1
</div>
                       
<div id="download_file" style="display: none" >
    I have here my Table 2
</div>
                       
<div id="user_activation" style="display: none">
    I have here my Table 3
</div >

So, if Iam in 2nd value in the dropdown. & I do a refresh page. It comes to the first.

1) set the value on the server on select and get it back on page reload
2) save it to a cookie
3) save it to HTML5 Local Storage
