HTML 5 + Local Storage or event.dataTransfer

By -
Here is the most basic example to save data inside HTML5 local storage. 

localStorage.setItem("acomplexname", "text data to be saved");
localStorage.getItem("acomplexname"); 
localStorage.removeItem("acomplexname");



Local storage is a good alternative for event.dataTranfer because some browsers are restrictive and doesn't allow outside world to fetch data, a bit more detail can be found here Bug

Difference between Validations, Callbacks and Observers

 Validations allow you to ensure that only valid data is stored in your  database.   Example:    validates_presence_of :user_name, :password   validates_numericality_of :value   We can write custom validation also as   def validate    errors.add(:price, “should be a positive value”) if price.nil?|| price < 0.01  end    Callbacks and observers allow you to trigger logic before or  after an alteration of an object’s state.   Callbacks  are methods that get called at certain moments of an  object’s  life cycle. With callbacks it’s possible to write code that  will run  whenever an Active Record object is created, saved, updated,  deleted,  validated, or loaded from the database.   Callbacks are hooks into the life cycle of an Active Record object that  allow you to trigger logic before or after an alteration of the object  state. This can be used to make sure that associated and dependent  objects are deleted when destroy is called (by overwriting  before_destroy) or to massage attribu
