Question

i want to store for example a <table> (node of my DOM – build up with HTML5) using JS/JQuery. Why?

i like to renew the table but store the old table with the contained values in it. i think it would later be quick to replace an existing table (node) with an stored, than to build it up again and parse the old data.

(parse data > build table ; rewnew table: parse new data > store old table > replace old by new; later: replace new by old table)

if found for example that problem: Chrome sendrequest error: TypeError: Converting circular structure to JSON
(i tried also to convert my table via JSON save it in given localStorage)

is it recommend to store such a DOM-node in a variable or localstorage?

I’m glad for any advice.

Answer 1

You can store your dom in variables.

var myTable = $('#content');

Local Storage api is not work on older browsers if you want to store your dom tree on the client side you can use cookies but I don’t recomend it.
