I use that in my app. If the user has been typing into an editing window, and

then closes the browser window, they will expect that what they typed will show up again when they restart the app. I use the onbeforeunload event in the browser to handle this, along with a (rare) synchronous ajax request to run a PHP termination script.

-- Cheers -- Tim Really - you expect something that was being typed just before closing

to be (magically?) present when you re-open the browser to that page? I would never expect something like to occur in any kind of computer application that (most likely) has procedures to be followed to properly use that page and save that data before closing it. Failure to follow the rules and an abrupt closure of the page/browser should not retain whatever I was doing and I can't fault it. Granted - you are doing this for you appls. but the mere fact that you have done so surprises me. I would never think to provide that service on my appls. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
