+Are You Sure? - A light "dirty forms" JQuery Plugin
+======
+**Version:** 1.9
+
+*Are-you-sure* (```jquery.are-you-sure.js```) is simple light-weight "dirty
+form" JQuery Plugin for modern browsers. It helps prevent users from losing
+unsaved HTML Form changes by promoting the user to save/submit.
+
+It's simple to use. Just add the following line to your page's ready
+function:
+
+```javascript
+$('form').areYouSure();
+```
+
+*Are-you-sure* is a minimal plugin for modern browsers. There are plenty of
+"dirty forms" implementations out there, however they all seemed very
+heavyweight and over-engineered...! Most were written some time back and
+contain many 'hacks' to support legacy browsers, and/or rely on other fat
+dependencies such as FaceBox or jQueryUI. *Are-you-sure* solves this by
+doing this simple task in the simplest possible way.
+
+*Are-you-sure* is as simple as it gets:
+
+ * 100% JS with zero dependencies and no external CSS.
+ * Leverages `onBeforeUnload` to detect all page/browser exit events.
+ * Works on forms of any size.
+ * Correct state management - if a user edits then restores a value, the form
+ is not considered dirty.
+ * Easy to understand - less than a "terminal screen" of code!
+ * Graceful degradation on legacy browsers (i.e. if you're running an old
+ browser... remember to save :-)
+
+###Basic Usage
+
+```javascript
+
+$(function() {
+
+ // Enable on all forms
+ $('form').areYouSure();
+
+ // Enable on selected forms
+ $('form.dirty-check').areYouSure();
+
+ // With a custom message
+ $('form').areYouSure( {'message':'Your profile details are not saved!'} );
+
+}
+```
+To ignore selected fields from the dirtyness check:
+
+```html
+ <form id="myForm" name="myform" action="/post" method="post">
+
+ Field 1: (checked) <input type="text" name="field1"> <br />
+ Field 2: (ignored): <input type="text" name="field2" data-ays-ignore="true"> <br />
+ Field 3: (ignored): <input type="text" name="field3" class="ays-ignore"> <br />
+
+ <input type="submit" value="Submit">
+
+ </form>
+```
+
+###Advanced Usage
+
+```javascript
+
+$(function() {
+
+ /*
+ * Make Are-You-Sure "silent" by disabling the warning message
+ * (tracking/monitoring only mode). This option is useful when you wish to
+ * use the dirty/save events and/or use the dirtyness tracking in your own
+ * beforeunload handler.
+ */
+ $('form').areYouSure( {'silent':true} );
+
+ /*
+ * Dirtyness Change Events
+ * Are-You-Sure fires off "dirty" and "clean" events when the form's state
+ * changes. You can bind() or on(), these events to implement your own form
+ * state logic. A good example is enabling/disabling a Save button.
+ *
+ * "this" refers to the form that fired the event.
+ */
+ $('form').on('dirty.areYouSure', function() {
+ // Enable save button only as the form is dirty.
+ $(this).find('input[type="submit"]').removeAttr('disabled');
+ });
+ $('form').on('clean.areYouSure', function() {
+ // Form is clean so nothing to save - disable the save button.
+ $(this).find('input[type="submit"]').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
+ });
+
+ /*
+ * It's easy to test if a form is dirty in your own code - just check
+ * to see if it has a "dirty" CSS class.
+ */
+ if ($('#my-form').hasClass('dirty')) {
+ // Do something
+ }
+
+ /*
+ * If you're dynamically adding new fields/inputs, and would like to track
+ * their state, trigger Are-You-Sure to rescan the form like this:
+ */
+ $('#my-form').trigger('rescan.areYouSure');
+
+ /*
+ * If you'd like to reset/reinitialize the form's state as clean and
+ * start tracking again from this new point onwards, trigger the
+ * reinitalize as follows. This is handy if say you've managing your
+ * own form save/submit via asyc AJAX.
+ */
+ $('#my-form').trigger('reinitialize.areYouSure');
+
+ /*
+ * In some situations it may be desirable to look for other form
+ * changes such as adding/removing fields. This is useful for forms that
+ * can change their field count, such as address/phone contact forms.
+ * Form example, you might remove a phone number from a contact form
+ * but update nothing else. This should mark the form as dirty.
+ */
+ $('form').areYouSure( {'addRemoveFieldsMarksDirty':true} );
+
+ /*
+ * Sometimes you may have advanced forms that change their state via
+ * custom JavaScript or 3rd-party component JavaScript. Are-You-Sure may
+ * not automatically detect these state changes. Examples include:
+ * - Updating a hidden input field via background JS.
+ * - Using a [rich WYSIWYG edit control](https://github.com/codedance/jquery.AreYouSure/issues/17).
+ * One solution is to manually trigger a form check as follows:
+ */
+ $('#my-form').trigger('checkform.areYouSure');
+
+ /*
+ * As an alternative to using events, you can pass in a custom change
+ * function.
+ */
+ $('#my-adv-form').areYouSure({
+ change: function() {
+ // Enable save button only if the form is dirty. i.e. something to save.
+ if ($(this).hasClass('dirty')) {
+ $(this).find('input[type="submit"]').removeAttr('disabled');
+ } else {
+ $(this).find('input[type="submit"]').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
+ }
+ }
+ });
+
+ /*
+ * Mixing in your own logic into the warning.
+ */
+ $('#my-form').areYouSure( {'silent':true} );
+ $(window).on('beforeunload', function() {
+ isSunday = (0 == (new Date()).getDay());
+ if ($('#my-form').hasClass('dirty') && isSunday) {
+ return "Because it's Sunday, I'll be nice and let you know you forgot to save!";
+ }
+ }
+
+}
+```
+The [demo page](http://www.papercut.com/products/free_software/are-you-sure/demo/are-you-sure-demo.html)
+shows the advanced usage options in more detail.
+
+
+###Install
+Are-You-Sure is a light-weight jQuery plugin - it's a single standalone
+JavaScript file. You can download the
+[jquery.are-you-sure.js](https://raw.github.com/codedance/jquery.AreYouSure/master/jquery.are-you-sure.js)
+file and include it in your page. Because it's so simple it seems a shame
+to add an extra browser round trip. It's recommended that you consider
+concatenating it with other common JS lib files, and/or even cut-n-pasting
+the code (and license header) into one of your existing JS files.
+
+For experimental Mobile Safari support, also include ```ays-beforeunload-shim.js```
+(see Known Issues below).
+
+*Are-you-sure* may also be installed with [Bower](http://twitter.github.com/bower/):
+
+```bash
+$ bower install jquery.are-you-sure
+```
+
+If you're using, or like, *Are-you-sure* make sure you **star/watch** this project
+so you can stay up-to-date with updates.
+
+###Demo
+This [demo page](http://www.papercut.com/products/free_software/are-you-sure/demo/are-you-sure-demo.html)
+hosts a number of example forms.
+
+###Supported Browsers
+*Are-you-sure* has been tested on and fully supports the following browsers:
+
+* IE 9 through 11
+* Google Chrome (versions since 2012)
+* Firefox (versions since 2012)
+* Safari (versions since 2012)
+
+Experimental support is available on iOS and Opera via the *beforeunload* shim (see below).
+
+###Known Issues & Limitations
+
+####Mobile Safari and Opera
+The ```windows.beforeunload``` event is not supported on iOS (iPhone, iPad, and iPod). An
+experimental shim offering partial *beforeunload* emulation is provided to help plug this gap.
+It works by scanning the page for anchor links and augments the default behaviour to first
+check with *Are-you-sure* before navigating away. To use, simply include
+```ays-beforeunload-shim.js``` in your page.
+
+####Firefox
+The custom message option may not work on Firefox ([Firefox bug 588292](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=588292)).
+
+###Development
+The aim is to keep *Are-you-sure* simple and light. If you think you have
+a good idea which is aligned with this objective, please voice your thoughts
+in the issues list.
+
+####Pull Requests
+If possible, please submit your pull request against the most recent ```dev-*``` branch rather than master. This will make it easier to merge your code into the next planned release.
+
+####Running tests
+```bash
+$ npm install
+$ npm test
+```
