QuickTime unsaved recordings can be found in an autosave folder. Here is where QuickTime saves its recordings. And if the recordings are deleted, Recoverit Data Recovery can help you to get them back. Autosave should be pretty simple to implement, and you could use one of the major frameworks like jquery or mootools. All you need to do is use window.setTimeout once your user edits something that should be autosaved, and have that timeout call the javascript frameworks standard AJAX stuff. Open the Google Chrome browser. Click the icon in the upper-right corner of the browser window. In the drop-down menu that appears, select Settings. On the left side of the screen, click the Autofill selector. In the middle of the screen, under the Autofill section, you are presented with three choices: Passwords, Payment methods, and Addresses. Do keep in mind that this latter approach will clear the Resume information for all programs you are using. For problems with the Auto Save feature, you can try removing from this library the. The development version has that feature fully implemented. Install it by following the instructions on the ipython github. Instructions form the repo: If you want to hack on certain parts, e.g. The IPython notebook, in a clean environment (such as a virtualenv) you can use pip to grab the necessary dependencies quickly.

How to use jquery-autosave (inline setup)
That was easy!
Just don't forget to include jquery and this plugin.
Set up your input fields with the with the following parameters.
The second example makes a GET request to '/my_backend_uri' so parameters will show in the url string.
Also if the request is successful, the 'done' function will run. In this example, an alert box will show 'saved!'

How to use jquery-autosave (js setup)
When you have several inputs you want to autosave, repeating the same data-* attributes is not usually the best practice. Consider including some settings when you apply the plugin.
Set global options that apply to all the input elements on the page. Now you don't need to change any of your html!
Options
The following options can be passed to the plugin when it is initialized.
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | string | null | The URL to which the request is sent. |
| method | string | 'POST' | The type of request to make, usually POST or GET. Other HTTP request methods, such as PUT and DELETE, can also be used here, but they are not supported by all browsers. |
| event | string | 'change' | Event that causes the plugin to send data to your url. See jQuery.on for options. |
| type | string | 'html' | Specify the dataType you are expecting (xml, json, script, or html) |
| data | object | null | Object that holds all data that will be posted back to the url when the event is fired. You can set global default values to be sent here. All data-* attribute values end up here, minus 'data-' (e.g. 'data-foo' becomes 'foo'). |
| debug | boolean | false | Will stop any requests from being performed and will console.log the data variable inside of the autosave library |
Callbacks/Promises
The following promise methods are available. However, if used, they should be included as options when autosave is initialized. See demos below for implementation example.
| Callback | Description |
|---|---|
| before: function(){} | Called just before processing the autosave. This is a great place to make some last second changes to the inline html data-* attributes. |
| done: function(data, textStatus, jqXHR){} | Called when the autosave ajax call was successful. The function's arguments are the same as those in a jqXHR.done() in jQuery.ajax (data, textStatus, and the jqXHR object). |
| fail: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){} | Called when the autosave ajax call failed or there is an error in the response. Note: Default 'type' is 'html' and it must match the response or even a 200(OK) status response will show as failed. The function's arguments are the same as those in a jqXHR.fail() in jQuery.ajax (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown). |
| always: function(){} | Called when finished, whether successful or not. This is the very last process performed during an autosave. |
Notes
Inline data-* attributes will override global options. However the callback functions (before, done, fail, and always) must be passed in via the javascript, not as data-* attributes in the html.
Textarea elements automatically use the inner html as the value when saving.
Pro Tip #1: Autosave Anything!
Edit the selector to specify which elements should autosave. It's not just for input fields!
Examples with Demo
Autosave the contents of a basic text input to the inline name='my-input' value=' placeholder='try me!'>
Testing all the option combinations. View the source if you like!
