Saving Form Data in Client-Side Storage

This content originally appeared on Raymond Camden and was authored by Raymond Camden

Today's post is one of those that started off with me worrying that it was going to be too simple and quickly turned into a bit of a complex little beast. I love that as it usually means my expectations were wrong and I've got a chance to expand my knowledge a bit. This post came from a simple idea: While working on a form, can we save your form data for restoring later in case you navigate away, close the tab by accident, or perhaps get "surprised" by an operating system update. While this is not something you would want to use in every situation (for example, storing a new password field), there's plenty of examples where this could be helpful, especially in a larger form.
