Need .innerHTML functionality but with the current form field values including input, select (selected option), and textarea.
So, given:
Not completely satisfied with it, but this mostly works:
$('input:text, input:hidden, input:password').each(function() {
var v=this.value;
$(this).attr("magicmagic_value",v).removeAttr("value").val(v);
});
$('input:checkbox,input:radio').each(function() {
var v=this.checked;
if(v) $(this).attr("magicmagic_checked","checked");
$(this).removeAttr("checked");
if(v) this.checked=true;
});
$('select option').each(function() {
var v=this.selected;
if(v) $(this).attr("magicmagic_selected","selected");
$(this).removeAttr("selected");
if(v) this.selected=true;
});
$('textarea').each(function() {
$(this).html(this.value);
});
var magic=$('form').html().replace(/magicmagic_/g,"");
$('[magicmagic_value]').removeAttr('magicmagic_value');
$('[magicmagic_checked]').attr("checked","checked").
removeAttr('magicmagic_checked');
$('[magicmagic_selected]').attr("selected","selected").
removeAttr('magicmagic_selected');
alert(magic);
