If you want the internet to save your data, you have to press the little button. If you don't, then it won't be saved. Not hard to figure out, not hard to do. If you have to go do something else while you're in the middle of a form, open a new tab/window and do it. When you come back to your original form, the data will still be there (but again, not *saved* until you hit the little button). Sorry, I just get cranky with people who won't follow the rules.
