如何使用jQuery StickyForms重新加载多个选择框的值？

Question

I'm using jquery stickyForms to make some form values sticky, so that the user's entered values are restored to a form when the user returns to that form.

It's works great, except I can't get it to work with my multiple selects. I checked the cookies it creates, and it doesn't even set the right values. Looking at the code, it doesn't even appear to support multiple selects.

Can anyone help?

I took it upon myself to add support for multiple selects. This works for me!

I changed line 115 to:

}else if(this[i].type == "select-multiple"){
    var setVal = $(this[i]).val();
}

Then I added this after line 178:

// Load multiples
if((this[i].type == "select-multiple") && val != "null" ){
    var val_list = val.split(",");
    var select_name = "#" + $(this[i]).attr("id");
    $(val_list).each(function(){
        $(select_name + " option[value="+this+"]").attr('selected','selected');
    });

}

It works! But mind you, I'm not an expert at javascript or jQuery, so if you have a more succinct solution or one with better performance, please let me know!

This is Ryan from JQByte, I wanted to let you know that we released version 1.0 of StickyForms today which includes support for multi-select and AJAX-processing forms.
