#92> don't let your users lose their form data This is a huge problem, and is the reason I've had Lazarus installed for a few years now. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/lazarus-form-... Apparently it exists for Chrome now, too.
Form content recall is a native Chrome feature now.
Could you explain that? I lost forms yesterday that I couldn't see any way to recall.

For all intents and purposes, IE6 and IE7 are dead. They account for less than 1.5% of worldwide browsers [1]. At this point, seems okay to leave out. [1] http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser_version_partially_combine...
That depends on your user base. If it's just the wider internet that's accurate, but if you're aiming at government or big corporate clients, you'd better check your analytics first.
At least in the federal government in the DC area, IE6 and 7 are all but dead, basically. While there are still plenty of legacy servers running older versions, desktops are far less behind than they were even 2 years ago.
I'm admittedly only speaking for a dozen agencies or so, but things are definitely better off lately than they used to be.

Hmm, what does jQuery provide that is so essential that someone decides to add a dependency this big for something so simple? It seems that everything requires jQuery these days, even when a 5-line for loop would do.
This seems to be the new 'cool'. Why jQuery whine, whine, whine . You've got jQuery on your own site. Why are you moaning about it? The source is here: https://github.com/guillaumepotier/Garlic.js/blob/master/gar... The code is pretty much idiomatic jQuery js following most of their style rules, layout rules and standard constructs so it's obviously been written as a jQuery extension. He must know jQuery well, hence…

May be he does not. May be He uses Dojo, Prototype or any other JS library.
At least jQuery doesn't extends Object and Array like other libraries so it's quite safe to have as an extra dependency.

It also probably wouldn't be super crazy difficult to use a Flash local storage fallback for them.
Ew
"Ew"? Flash is practically ubiquitous, works reliably and predictably in both modern and legacy browsers, and is used as a fallback for HTML5 by tech giants like Google. No need to let your prejudice get in the way.

We're talking about something that prevents form data loss. If it doesn't error on IE6/7 and simply doesn't work, then that's fairly graceful degradation that provides a benefit to users on more modern browsers.
But I suppose if your userbase is predominantly IE6/7, then it may not be worth the effort for you.

No more ew than people being on IE.
In my opinion, flash is a viable alternative where modern technologies aren't able to be used, especially if it's a trivial enhancement.
