About
=====

[](#about)

This script protects a form from being navigated away from by throwing up a confirmation dialog if information has been entered but not saved.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- jQuery

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```

```

Example
-------

[](#example)

To protect a form with id `MyFormId`:

```

    $(document).ready(function () {
        formProtector.protect('MyFormId');
    });

```

This will produce a confirmation dialog if any ``, ``, or `` has its value changed and the user navigates away by any means other than submitting the form.

If you want to manually mark a form as having been changed:

```

    $(document).ready(function () {
        formProtector.setChanged('MyFormId');
    });

```

If you want to manually mark a form as having been saved (e.g. if you have an asynchronous function that stores form data):

```

    $(document).ready(function () {
        formProtector.setSaved('MyFormId');
    });

```
