Retrieving "lost" posts on forums

[Al Shades]

I'm sure I'm not the first person to have accidentally clicked an outside link while typing up a post, only to have encountered the "Warning: Page has Expired" upon going back. Thereafter, the post is lost.

I'd like to know if the input is cached somewhere on my computer so that I can possibly retrieve it, or if I can prevent this from happening in the future by having a "static" back-button.

Help would be much appreciated. I just lost the text of my ad on Craig's list.

Thanks

P.S. IE6

Using Firefox here - never have a problem if I navigate away from a page. With tabbed browsing (also available in IE7), once you get used to using it, you -won't- have this problem.

IE6 sucks - upgrade.

Bah, I've tried both and didn't like them.

Opera does exactly what you're looking for!

I am used to ctrl-a, ctrl-c all the time before hitting submit but haven't had to do it in Firefox yet when I have forgotten.
