javascript - Is form data retained after submitting? -
i know practically nothing javascript, apologies!
but maybe can help: stumbled upon website, "parses" code amazon purchases neat table can copied other purposes.
https://www.ardenstone.com/2015/01/11/exporting-kindle-books-from-amazon/
before go ahead , paste whole amazon list though: can ascertained somehow, whether form saved / sent / submitted somewhere? or deliver results on website eyes only? i'd appreciate if out! thank you!!!
it starts this:
<form id="alp" name="alp" method="post" action="#" onsubmit="parsetext(); return false;"> <textarea cols="50" rows="10" id="alpin"></textarea><br /> <br /> <input type="submit" id="alpsub" value="parse" /><br /> <br /> </form>
and parsetext, after submitting, can found here: https://www.ardenstone.com/projects/amazonkindle/amazonkindle.js
unless software published, can never sure. problem site (the author) make unannounced change turned useful , benign potentially nasty.
when "he", means modify site content, or @ time in future. yes, https link, controls webserver, domain name, etcetera.
if concerned privacy, don't use site. means:
- get hold of copy of code,
- analyze it,
- install on own (secure, private) platform own use.
but if use form on public site is, putting own privacy @ risk.
(on other hand, kind of organizations might interested in amazon purchase history have better ways find out; e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/national_security_letter)
for worth, cannot see obvious problems current1 version of "amazonkindle.js" javascript. however, there subtle sneaky things going on. example, conceivable 1 of other javascript blobs in page alters meaning of something, innocent-looking code in "amazonkindle.js" unexpected.
1 - is, current of when looked @ it!
