Kind of new to JQuery and I was wondering how can I state that the users submitted info was saved when they click the submit button by displaying the message Changes saved at the top of the form and then have it
disappear when the user leaves the web page and return back to it?
Right now my code only displays that changes were saved at the bottom of the form outside of the lists and will not
disappear when the users leave the web page and return back to it.
Here is the JQuery code.
$(function() {
$(".save-button").click(function() {
$.post($("#contact-form").attr("action"), $("#contact-form").serialize(), function(html) {
$("div.contact-info-form").html(html);
$('#contact-form').append('<li>Changes saved!</li>');
});
return false; // prevent normal submit
});
});
Here is the html code.
<div id="contact-info-form" class="form-content">
<h2>Contact Information</h2>
<form method="post" action="index.php" id="contact-form">
<fieldset>
<ul>
<li><label for="address">Address 1: </label><input type="text" name="address" id="address" size="25" class="input-size" value="<?php if (isset($_POST['address'])) { echo $_POST['address']; } else if(!empty($address)) { echo $address; } ?>" /></li>
