I'm thinking that
$("form input").each(function() { $(this).val(origFormData[$(this).attr
("id")]); });
should step over each input field in a form and conjure up values from
the origFormData object based on the id of the current element
conjuring a value.
But the state-saving code should be more along the lines of
$(":input").each(function(){
origFormData[$(this).attr("id")] = $(this).val
(); // Might not work with checkboxen
});
to get the value of the field and keep the origFormData based on the
ID of the field.
Hope it helps!
