Change URL of ajax dynamically

[patrickf0]

Hi there,

great plugin! Works nice!

Is there a way to change the url of ajax dynamically?

I have got a task navigation and in order to reuse the autosave.js I need to change the ajax url according to the current opened task. (the task nav hides and shows the forms, so there is no page reload).

@patrickf0 you can pass in dynamic data to the ajax save handler but using a function instead of an object -- but that won't work for the url property. You could, alternatively, write your own ajax handler and use it instead of the default one.

@patrickf0 What I ended up doing was updating the <form> tag's action attribute dynamically and in the save callback I'd re-read the form's action attribute:

$("#my-form").autosave({
  callbacks: {
    save: {
      method: "ajax",
      options: {
        url: $("#my-form").attr('action')
      }
    }
  }
});
