Jquery javascript - How can I let users 'undo' their modifications?
- by Bill Zimmerman
Hi, i have a basic jquery app that allows a user to edit and manipulate some lists on a page. What I would like to do is have a button 'restore original list' that the user can press to undo his modifications.
What is the best way to do this? I was thinking of just copying the DOM from the list down, and pasting it in a hidden element someplace else on the page. Is this the best way to do this?
I also noticed that jquery has a .data() function which I could use if I converted the data to an array and stored it this way. What are the advantages and disadvantages?
Also, I'm open to any suggestions people have if there is some method I haven't thought of.
Thanks for your help!
