Question

In a jQuery callback, I would like to store a status of the dom and to restore this status when escape key is pressed :

$(document).ready(function() {
    // add callbacks
    // TODO : *** store dom ***

    $( ".editable" ).click(function () {
        // add other callbacks

        $("#add").keyup(function(e){
            if (e.keyCode == 27) { // escape
                // TODO : *** restore dom ***
            }
        });
    });
});

Is there a way to do it ?

Answer 1

We solved the problem by reloading the page with window.location.href=”url” :

$(document).ready(function() {
    // add callbacks

    $( ".editable" ).click(function () {
        // add other callbacks

        $("#add").keyup(function(e){
            if (e.keyCode == 27) { // escape
                window.location.href="thisPageUrl";
            }
        });
    });
});

So we don’t need to store any status. Just rely on http request.
