 | | Dangerous behavior when refereshing browser while editing | | I was writing a long post in a ticket that required a lot of search at different places. It took me about two hours to finish that post. Before clicking on "save", I switched to another application and pressed F5 there, but then I realized, I hadn't switched and was still in my browser where the ticket was open. Pressing F5 refreshed the page and the work of two hours were replaced by a blank text field!!
I really recommend to catch the browser refresh event and ask the user, if loosing all that text is really intended. | | | Promoted By | | Julie Landry | Justin Willey | Szabo, Alice | | Voskamp, Marius | Bönigk, Stefan | Beck zum, Carsten | | Domkin, Alexander | Klein-Heyl, Christian | Jähner, Maxim | | Kielkowski, Gregor | Hoeppner, Rene | Borodin, Alexander | | Schöffmann, Oliver | Hinrichs, Oliver | Zaum, Volker | | Göhns, Axel | Breuer, Michael | Bode, Edgar | | Sladkov, Alexander | Scholz, Till | Leich, Andreas | | Wirth, Marcus | Hagn, Konrad | Frerking, Bernd | | Mirreza, Mehrdad | | |
| | Comments | Frerking, Bernd 1/26/2015 9:56:04 AM I have lost a lot of work too. Therefore, I like the idea of asking the user before leaving an edit page with discarding any changes.
| Leich, Andreas 1/26/2015 10:10:37 AM Same with backspace, but focus is not longer in text field. (by accident or just changed a drop down and forgot to click into text field)
This will perform "back" functionality of explorer page. But "forward" button will not bring your text back.
I switched to note pad. :-(
| Hagn, Konrad 1/26/2015 10:19:09 AM Usually happens to me when i try to use [tabkey] in order to arrange textinput and then pressing backspace. The [tabkey] makes the browser lose focus of the textfield and backspace causes the return-page-event. Input AND Settings are lost and not restored with pushing forward.
| Hagn, Konrad 2/9/2015 3:01:11 AM A frequent mistake happening to me is when you start to make lists:
1.
2.
-
-
3.
One has to press [tab] to get the dash-listelement. But in addition to changing the listelement the focus switches to the savebutton. Writing will push the button as soon as you hit the spacebar and save an unfinnished post.
