Ever had your page close after you've written over two large paragrpahs?

It happens to me all the darn time.

Is there anyway to get an option to restore from saved draft?
Like when the window closes on you and you've typed out like, twenty paragrphs?

As: Lets say you type something, and the page closes. Then you repoen the page and go to type in the fourm it gives you that option.

Or is there something like this already on this site?

That's happened to me on numerous occasions. Now I type up my longer posts in Notepad or Wordpad and paste them in. It would be neat to have a feature like you mentioned, but is that even possible?

Very difficult to implement for websites. Really, this is something that the web browsers should have implemented ages ago. What are these guys doing?

Firefox (current version: 2.0.0.12) can retrieve "Recently Closed Tabs" through the History menu, with all text in text boxes kept intact.

Geez! I didn't even know that was there. Thanks for the great tip!
