wddxFormLibrary 1.1b 1.0

The wddxFormLibrary is a JavaScript-based library that will simplify the process of converting the contents of a form into a WDDX packet. The library will automatically parse through all of the elements in a form and convert the information into a structure which is stored within a centralized structure that can contain a number of different forms. The wddxFormLibrary will also handle repopulating the form from an existing WDDX packet (created with the wddxFormLibrary function calls.) This means you can easily take snapshots of a form's content and repopulate the page without any additional server-side coding. Because of the unique nature in which the wddxFormLibrary works, you can do a number of things very quickly, easily and most important efficiently. In a nutshell, wddxFormLibrary takes a virtual "snapshot" of the way the current form is laid out. This means that you can use it on existing forms, store the WDDX packet in the database and any time someone needs to re-edit that information, simply grab the packet back from the database and pass it back to the form. Once the user's browser loads the page, the form will automatically be returned to the way the user last left it. The wddxFormLibrary also simplifies your server-based coding. How many times have you created a multi-part form where you have to first check for existing information, code the page, check to see if the form fields should be populated with saved information; then after the page has been submitted, you have to write all the information back to the database? This is a very time consuming process—not only in terms of coding, but in terms of the CPU processing. With wddxFormLibrary this method is a thing of the past. All you need to do is point each form's "ACTION" attribute to the next page you want data collected from, then once all the information is collected, you can store all of the information in just one step. (Note, for added precaution you could store the WDDX packet between each page and check the database just for that packet. This would protect users from losing information if their machine crashed or they close their browser on accident.)
