I have to interject here, sorry this is such an old post but no one has solved this in a manner satisfying for me so I did something about it. Form state still remains an issue across all platforms.
I just released a jQuery plugin running off of HTML 5 offline storage and it works in all the major browsers to maintain your form state, just drop one line of code and you can do it based on a browser session or persist it across sessions with no server-side programming needed or cookies. It can even work on an HTML page. I have done development for PHP, .NET, Ruby, Python and JSP so I tend to see JavaScript as a godsend and a preferable solution because I can reuse it everywhere. HTML 5 rocks. I'm not making money off of this as its 100% free but I feel that its my duty to let people know. Here is the plugin link -> http://www.jasonsebring.com/dumbFormState -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
