Unable to retain the table values after refreshing the browser window

Created a form using html, javascript. After entering the fields, when i click submit button, it saves the user data in localstorage and updates the table rows dynamically. But once i refresh the browser, the table holding the information of all users is lost. I want to retain the table after refreshing the browser.

How to apply a class attribute to an HTML string (not rendered on the document)

I am am developing code for am automator to improve the project with several pages.
I have a textarea input where I can enter HTML and it shows me the HTML with the right structure.
HTML:
<textarea name="message">
<input type="text" value="TextTwo" id="texttwo"/>
<input type="text" value="DataOne" id="dataone"/>
<input type="text" value="NumberTwo" id="numbertwo"/>
<input type="text" value="TextOne" id="textone"/>
<input type="text" value="DataTwo" id="datatwo"/>
<input type="text" value="NumberOne" id="numberone"/>
</textarea>
<button>process</button>
JS/JQuery:
$('button').click(function () {
var code = $('textarea[name=message]').val();
if ($('#output').length < 1) {
$("body").append('<h2>Output</h2><textarea id="output" rows="10" cols="100"></textarea>');
}
$('#output').val(code);
});
I would like to apply classes following these rules:
The input that has the word "Text" value in applying the class = "text"
The input that has the word "Data" value in applying the class = "data"
The input that has the word "Number" value in applying the class = "number"
An example of how the code would output in textarea
<input type="text" value="TextTwo" id="texttwo" class="text" />
<input type="text" value="DataOne" id="dataone" class="data" />
<input type="text" value="NumberTwo" id="numbertwo" class="number" />
<input type="text" value="TextOne" id="textone" class="text"/>
<input type="text" value="DataTwo" id="datatwo" class="data" />
<input type="text" value="NumberOne" id="numberone" class="number" />
DEMO CODE
What is a good approach to do this using JQuery?

I updated your fiddle and had this code working -- Can't give you a link since I don't actually have a fiddle account:
$('button').click(function () {
var code = $('textarea[name=message]').val();
// The best thing to do here is to turn that string of HTML into
// DOM elements and let the browser do the work.
var elms = jQuery.parseHTML(code);
var result = "";
// Now that we've processed the HTML into an array, work with it.
for (var i = 0; i < elms.length; i++) {
var el = elms[i];
if (el.tagName && el.tagName.toLowerCase() === "input") {
// Great! We we have an 'input' element.
var val = el.value;
if (val.indexOf("Text") !== -1) {
el.className = "text";
}
if (val.indexOf("Data") !== -1) {
el.className = "data";
}
if (val.indexOf("Number") !== -1) {
el.className = "number";
}
}
if (el.nodeType === 3) {
// Handle text nodes
result += el.nodeValue;
} else {
result += el.outerHTML;
}
}
if ($('#output').length < 1) {
$("body").append('<h2>Output</h2><textarea id="output" rows="10" cols="100"></textarea>');
}
$('#output').val(result);
});

Under the assumption that all the html in the textarea is valid, What we can do is just build the html into a div and then format the html with jQuery. After this is done just get the content and put it in the textarea.
$('button').click(function () {
var code = $('textarea[name=message]').val(),
$code = $('<div />').html(code),
classes = {'Text': 'text', 'Data': 'data', 'Number': 'number'};
if ($('#output').length < 1) {
$("body").append('<h2>Output</h2><textarea id="output" rows="10" cols="100"></textarea>');
}
$('input', $code).each(function(){
var t = this,
$t = $(this);
for(key in classes){
if(t.value.indexOf(key) > -1){
$t.addClass(classes[key]);
return;
}
}
});
$('#output').val($code.html());
});
http://jsfiddle.net/LC5y3/4/

DEMO
$('button').click(function () {
var code = $.parseHTML($('textarea[name=message]').val());
console.log(code);
var newCode = "";
code = $.grep(code, function (n, i) {
if (n.nodeValue) {
return n.nodeValue.trim()
} else {
return (n.outerHTML && n.outerHTML.trim())
}
});
for (var i = 0; i < code.length; i++) {
var element=$(code[i]);
element.addClass(element.attr("type"));
newCode += code[i].outerHTML;
}
console.log(newCode);
console.log(code);
if (!$('#output').length) {
$("body").append('<h2>Output</h2><textarea id="output" rows="10" cols="100"></textarea>');
}
$('#output').val(newCode);
});

You can use the attribute contains selector.
jsFiddle
$('input[id*="text"]').addClass('text');
$('input[id*="number"]').addClass('number');
$('input[id*="data"]').addClass('data');

You can dynamically build the elements:
$('input').addClass('className').attr('value','number');

Javascript to alert a user that the same info has already been entered

First I should say I am a javascript newbie so forgive my ignorance.
I'm creating a form that has three functions and also uses array:
Add - To accept a name (if field left blank it should ask the user to enter a name in an alert box)
Find - To verify a name has not already been entered (in an alert box)
List - To list the names that have been entered (in an alert box)
I have the list function working (good). The alert to enter a name comes up after you enter a name as well as when you leave the field blank (not good)
and I can't get the find function to work at all.
My code is below and I've tried so many iterations and searched so many sites for help, also tried firebug; I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
Untitled
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var a = new Array();
function list() {
var s = "";
for (i = 0; i < a.length; i++)
s = s + a[i] + "\n";
alert(s);
}
function add() {
// If the text box empty you ask the user to enter a name.
var myTextField = document.getElementById("myText");
a[a.length] = myTextField.value;
myTextField.value = "";
if (myTextField.value == "") {
alert("Please enter a name");
return false;
}
function find() {
//If the name already exists you should get a warning
var myTextField = document.getElementById("myText");
a[a.length] = myTextField.value;
myTextField.value = "";
for (var i = 0; i < a.length; i++)
if (a[i] == myTextField) {
alert("Sorry, the name " + a[i] + " already exists. Try again");
}
}
}
</script>
<input type="text" id="myText" /><br>
<input type="button" onclick="add()" value="Add a name" />
<input type="button" onclick="list()" value="List the names" />
<input type="button" onclick="find()" value="Find" />
</body>
</html>

You have done it almost, but some lil errors.. here you can check it jsfiddle
HTML:
<input type="text" id="myText" /><br>
<input type="button" value="Add a name" class="add_button"/>
<input type="button" value="List the names" class="list_button"/>
<input type="button" value="Find" class="find_button"/>
JS:
$(".add_button").live("click", function(){
add()
});
$(".list_button").live("click", function(){
list()
});
$(".find_button").live("click", function(){
find()
});
var a = new Array();
function list()
{
var s = "";
for(i = 0; i < a.length; i++)
s = s + a[i] + "\n";
alert(s);
}
function add()
{
// If the text box empty you ask the user to enter a name.
var myTextField = document.getElementById("myText");
a[a.length] = myTextField.value;
if (myTextField.value == "")
{
alert ("Please enter a name");
return false;
}
myTextField.value = "";
}
function find()
{
//If the name already exists you should get a warning
var status = true;
var myTextField = document.getElementById("myText");
for (var i = 0; i < a.length; i++)

alert ("Sorry, the name " + a[i] + " already exists. Try again");
status = false;
break;
}
}
if(status==true)
{
a[a.length] = myTextField.value;
}
myTextField.value = "";

The code had a couple of errors, here's a working version: http://jsfiddle.net/sAq2m/2/

JavaScript hiding plain text similar to password

I am trying to hide/show the plain text of a hashing function, I have been able to hide the input field but i have not been able to hide/show the plain text, the webpage has a input field and under that is the text that i am typing, then there is the hashed text, i am trying to replace the plain text with bullets.
I tried hiding it by counting the number of characters in the field and then repeating the bullet that many times. but now the page does not function at all.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<input
name="show password"
type="checkbox"
checked="checked"
onclick="toggleType();" />
<input
size="80"
input type="text"
rows="7"
id="edValue"
type="text"
onKeyPress="edValueKeyPress()
"onKeyUp="edValueKeyPress()">
<p id="string">Original text: </p>
<p id="lblValue">The SHA256 hash is: </p>
<script type="text/javascript" src="sha256.js">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function edValueKeyPress()
{
var edValue = document.getElementById("edValue");
var s = edValue.value;
var lblValue = document.getElementById("lblValue");
lblValue.innerText = "The SHA256 hash is: "+sha256_digest(s);
var TheText = document.getElementById("string");
TheText.innerText = "Original text: "+s;
}
function toggleType() {
var obj = document.getElementById('edValue');
if (obj.type == 'password') {
obj.type = 'text';
} else {
obj.type = 'password';
repeat();
}
}
function repeat() {
var length = this.value.length;
var count = document.getElementById("edValue");
String.prototype.repeat = function(n) {
return new Array(1 + n).join(this);
var TheText = document.getElementById("string");
TheText.innerText = "*".repeat(count);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>

Just use a regex:
w/ jQuery:
$('YOURELEMENT').html($('div').html().replace(/./g, '*'));
without:
var text = document.getElementById('YOURELEMENT').innerText;
document.getElementById('string').innerHTML = text.replace(/./g, '*')

To toggle :
Html input
<input
name="show password"
type="checkbox"
checked="checked"
onclick="toggleType();" />
<input id="password" type="password" />
The javascript
function toggleType(){
var inputEl = document.getElementById('password');
if(inputEl.type != "text"){
inputEl.type = "text";
}else{
inputEl.type = "password";
}
}
Working example: http://jsfiddle.net/3MRAX/1/

Sorry about this, OP, but I tried :( This is as far as I got.
Javascript
function edValueKeyPress()
{
var edValue = document.getElementById("edValue");
var s = edValue.value;
var lblValue = document.getElementById("lblValue");
var hashes = s.hashCode;
lblValue.innerHTML = "The SHA256 hash is: " + hashes;
var text = document.getElementById("string");
text.innerHTML = "Original text: " + s;
}
function toggleType() {
var obj = document.getElementById('edValue');
if (obj.type == 'password') {
obj.type = 'text';
} else if(obj.type == 'text'){
obj.type = 'password';
}
}

I have an issue to create dynamic fields with string count using Javascript OR Jquery

I have an issue to create dynamic fields with string count using JavaScript or jQuery.
Briefing
I want to create dynamic fields with the help of sting count, for example when I write some text on player textfield like this p1,p2,p3 they create three file fields on dynamicDiv or when I remove some text on player textfield like this p1,p2 in same time they create only two file fields that's all.
The whole scenario depend on keyup event
Code:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script>
function commasperatedCount(){
var cs_count = $('#player').val();
var fields = cs_count.split(/,/);
var fieldsCount = fields.length;
for(var i=1;i<=fieldsCount;i++){
var element = document.createElement("input");
element.setAttribute("type", 'file');
element.setAttribute("value", '');
element.setAttribute("name", 'file_'+i);
var foo = document.getElementById("dynamicDiv");
foo.appendChild(element);
}
}

<script>
function create(playerList) {

//
return false;
}
var str = "";
for(var i=0; i<player.length; i++) {

//you wont need id unless you are thinking of javascript validations here
}
if(playerList=="") {str="";} // just in case text field is empty ...
document.getElementById("dynamicDiv").innerHTML = str;
}
</script>
<input id="playerList" onKeyUp="create(this.value);" /><!-- change event can also be used here -->
