[Wikipedia-l] Auto-save in your browser editor

Wed Jul 24 09:03:28 UTC 2002

I'm using my normal web browser to edit Wikipedia articles, and
it wasn't really designed to be an editor.  Several times I have
lost my work because either the browser crashed or the website
wasn't responding when I was done and wanted to save my article.
Real text editors or word processors have an auto-save function
that allows me to recover and continue work after a crash, so
why shouldn't a web browser?  Of course I could write my article
in a real text editor, and submit it using cut-n-paste to the
browser, but I'm too lazy to switch back and forth.

If you know a web browser that supports offline writing or has an
auto-save function, please enlighten me.  Do you use Emacs Wiki?

If you're using the free software Mozilla 1.x browser, you might
be interested in this new bug report/feature request by me,
