jQuery deserialize form

Question

I am using jQuery Serialize to serialize my form elements and would like to deserialize them back. Unfortunately can\'t find any working jQuery deserializer, any suggestions

Answer 1

Needed all in a single string, which can be stored in maybe COOKIE, and later read and fill the same form with input values.

Input elements seperator: ~ (use any seperator)

Input attributes seperator: | (use any seperator)

input type | input name | input value ~ input2 type | input2 name | input2 value

var formData = '';
$('#form_id').find('input, textarea, select').each(function(i, field) {
    formData += field.type+'|'+field.name+'|'+field.value+'~';
});

Example:

hidden|vote_id|10~radio|option_id|~radio|option_id|427~radio|option_id|428~
