I wrote an autosave plugin a while back that automates autosaving fields. It
doesn't submit the form at one time - instead it updates each field
immediately if they are changed. I can find somewhere to post it if you
want to play with it.
It gets called like the snippet below - I use ajaxCFC for ajax, but
$.post/$.get should work too. When you use "this" in the function call it
refers to the element itself. In editing forms I give my field ID's the
name "dbfieldname_primarykeyID" to make them easy to reference. You could
also do tablename_fieldname_id if you really wanted to generalize the
backend function :)
$('input:[EMAIL PROTECTED]').each( function() {
$(this).autoSave(function(){
$.AjaxCFC({
url: "/active/admin/cfc/seminars.cfc",
method: "updateAttendee",
data: { field:this.id.split("_")[0],
id:this.id.split("_")[1],
value:this.value},
success: function(){}
});
});
});
Let me know if you're interested.
