jquery.dirtyforms.helpers.alwaysdirty
This is a helper module for the jQuery Dirty Forms project.
Purpose
This helper causes Dirty Forms to always show a dirty status, effectively overriding the logic that causes the form to be dirty when one of the input or select HTML controls is updated. It was primarily written to demonstrate how to write a custom helper, but may also be helpful in real-world scenarios where you don't want the user to navigate from the page without their explicit consent.
Prerequisites
Prerequesites must be included in this order:
- jQuery (>= 1.4.2)
- jquery.dirtyforms
If you are using a Package Manager, these dependencies will be installed automatically, but depending on your environment you may still need to add references to them manually.
Download & Installation
There are several different ways to get the code. Some examples below:
CDN
The Always Dirty helper is available over jsDelivr CDN and can directly be included on every page.
<script type="text/javascript" src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/jquery.dirtyforms/2.0.0/jquery.dirtyforms.helpers.alwaysdirty.min.js"></script>jsDelivr also supports on-the-fly concatenation of files, so you can reference only 1 URL to get jQuery, jquery.dirtyforms, and jquery.dirtyforms.helpers.alwaysdirty in one request.
<script type="text/javascript" src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/g/jquery@1.11.3,jquery.dirtyforms@2.0.0(jquery.dirtyforms.min.js+jquery.dirtyforms.helpers.alwaysdirty.min.js)"></script>Self-Hosted
Download and save one of two available files to include the Always Dirty helper to your page, either the latest distribution or the latest minified version.
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.dirtyforms.helpers.alwaysdirty.min.js"></script>You can also conveniently get all of the latest Dirty Forms files in one Zip Download.
