Re: save as you type

You could do it with javascript, but its stupid since it'll consume a lot of processes (1 for each character typed). Tell the users to not forget it. Or as alternative:

    1 <html>
    2     <script>
    3         var submited = false;
    4         function unloadConfirm()
    5         {
    6             if (!submited) {
    7                 save = confirm("Do you want to apply changes?");
    8                 if (save) {
    9                     document.form1.submit();
   10                 }
   11             }
   12         }
   13     </script>
   14     <body onUnload="unloadConfirm();">
   15         <form name="form1" action="script.php" method="post">
   16             <input type="text" name="text1" onChange="submited = false;"
   17             <input type="submit" value="Apply changes" onClick="submited
   18         </form>
   19     </body>

20 </html> When the user quits the page and the form wasn't submited yet, it will ask to apply.
