Using jQuery to store the state of a complicated form

Question

I have a rather complicated form with many \"steps\" in it that are filled in by the user. Some steps (think of them as form segments) have default options, but on clicking

Answer 1

I guess you are looking for .serialize(), which serializes form data. To do that, your input elements need to be within a form tag plus, all of them have to have name attributes.

var form1data = $('#form1').serialize();

alert(form1data);
