I remembered this thread when I read Hixies outburst on #whatwg yesterday: [10:29] <Hixie> we really still have no way for JS to access the form data set on submission? [10:30] <Hixie> who's running this show, a clown? src: http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/whatwg/20120510#l-483 It seems we're many who want this, and there are clear use cases for it. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2012AprJun/0366.html FormData need not be tied to XHR either, maybe IndexedDB should also be able to just take FormData directly? I can see how that could be useful. Although getting methods for serializing/deserializing FormData would make it possible to just do the load/save logic on your own. -- Odin Hørthe Omdal (Velmont/odinho) · Core, Opera Software, http://opera.com
