#32 Local Storage for values
This plugin (it could be added as part of the core
FCKeditor without any changes) isn't meant to be used
as a standalone, it's just some little code to help
other plugins or changes in the core editor to preserve
values between different sessions.
To use this plugin as I've said you must be a developer
as it doesn't do any magic, it's just some helper code.
The user make some changes, pick some color, etc...,
then it is stored in this storage (just a cookie), so
the next time the same tool is shown to the user
instead of showing always the same default value now
it's possible to remember his selection.
example:
while loading the table dialog (if no table is selected):
//recover previous values:
document.getElementById('txtRows').value =
FCKStorage.GetValue( 'tables' , 'rows', '3');
document.getElementById('txtColumns').value =
FCKStorage.GetValue( 'tables' , 'cols', '3');
And when the users press OK, then save it
//save the default values here:
FCKStorage.SetValue( 'tables' , 'rows',
document.getElementById('txtRows').value);
FCKStorage.SetValue( 'tables' , 'cols',
document.getElementById('txtColumns').value);
The syntax of both functions is similar: module, name,
and value (for setting) or defaultValue (when trying to
read)
"Module" could be removed if the name it's always
different, but I think that this helps avoiding problems.

Sounds kind of cool man. I think you forgot to attach the
plugin code though... :-)

I see: I missed marking that checkbox.

Ok, finally I've updated it to use something better than
cookies (as I initially envisioned it) for those browsers
that can do it (IE & Fx2)
The final step would be to include the ability to use flash
storage.
This can be seen in action in the rtSpellChecker plugin
(it's included inside to avoid downloading two files for
those that want an easy install)
