All right, I'll try to explain it in more detail:
I am going to use localStorage along with HTML5's new contentEditable feature to create a website that is editable directly from the browser. The localStorage should save what is written in a div with contentEditable=true on the client's computer. This is working:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>LocalStorage</title>
<script>
var addEvent = (function () {
if (document.addEventListener) {
return function (el, type, fn) {
if (el && el.nodeName || el === window) {
el.addEventListener(type, fn, false);
} else if (el && el.length) {
for (var i = 0; i < el.length; i++) {
addEvent(el[i], type, fn);
}
}
};
} else {
return function (el, type, fn) {
if (el && el.nodeName || el === window) {
el.attachEvent('on' + type, function () { return fn.call(el, window.event); });
} else if (el && el.length) {
for (var i = 0; i < el.length; i++) {
addEvent(el[i], type, fn);
}
}
};
}
})();
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="editable" contentEditable="true">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.</div>
<script>
var editable = document.getElementById('editable');
addEvent(editable, 'blur', function () {
// lame that we're hooking the blur event
localStorage.setItem('contenteditable', this.innerHTML);
document.designMode = 'off';
});
addEvent(editable, 'focus', function () {
document.designMode = 'on';
});
addEvent(document.getElementById('clear'), 'click', function () {
localStorage.clear();
window.location = window.location; // refresh
});
if (localStorage.getItem('contenteditable')) {
editable.innerHTML = localStorage.getItem('contenteditable');
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
However, I'd like that when the client hits a 'Save' button or something, all the stuff from the localStorage gets sent to a table in a MySQL database.
How would you do that?
