-Himanshu- Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 It looks like my UPS battery has died because it is not holding any charge and my compute loses power as soon as power cuts. The problem is that I might type up a long post and power cuts before I can post it and I lose it. This happened 10 minutes ago and it is annoying me. So, is there any way I can save the state of browser? And by state I mean the etxt typed i a box too. I am using Chrome but I may consider a temporary change of browser if some other browser can do this. I looked up extensions and I found a session manager. But it seems that it only remembers the tabs and windows that were open. I want the content of the page to be saved too i.e. whatever I have typed up in any box. Is this possible?

-Himanshu- Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Well, tested it but turns out it doesn't work with the site I need. Tried finding other autosave extensions but can't. Help, guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remixedcat Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 what site was it? sometimes the site owner may request it to not be included, as well as there are several other sites that disable form filling... Discogs is one of those and that really makes me a mad kitty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Himanshu- Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 http://www.india-forums.com The symbol of the extension doesn't appear when I go into the reply box. Any way outta this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remixedcat Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 any white/blacklists you can alter in the extension? you might want to check some of the code for the extension... if you can.... I know that in firefox you can edit some code to override certain things... I done it to make older addons work for the nightlies that way by altering the version numbers.... is there anything you can edit? that is if you get really desperate.

-Himanshu- Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Finally, got it to work. Seems like due to the way the site is coded, the pop up appears only when clicking exactly on the border of the box, not in the box or even some pixels outside the box. BTW, gotta love Neowin. It auto-saves the post itself. In future, I should personally avoid helping anyone... :) :) Please don't take it as an insult, because it was not. I just mentioned in OP that I did not need a session saver but something which can save texts typed on page. I just referred you to that, no offence was meant. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
