Store values

[peteruithoven]

Firefox will store the values of fields, so that when you refresh you keep the values in fields like url. Chrome doesn't.
Is there a input field option to enable this?
Otherwise we might want to store this in localStorage.

I tried adding autocomplete="on" and autosave to the input element, but this doesn't help.

It looks like Chrome doesn't store it unless it's actually submitted, I prevent the submit using a event.preventDefault(); to prevent a page refresh. Using return false in a submit handler gives the same behavior.

Having a iframe as form target seems to solve the autocomplete issue in Chrome...
Example:

<iframe name='hidden-iframe' class='hidden' src='about:blank'></iframe>
<form target='hidden-iframe'>
...
</form>

You won't need event.preventDefault(); or return false with this solution.
