This article is dedicated to myLotters at www.mylot.com . However, it is equally applicable to anyone who frequently deals with online forms such as those you encounter when doing postings at forums.
So if you deal with online forms frequently, I would strongly suggest this script. This is a definite must for myLotters as it will save you a lot of frustration when you encounter the ever-persistent message glitch. Oh yes, not to mention the invalid characters glitch. And the discussion posting glitch. And the.. well, you can make up your own list. :P The script is available at http://userscripts.org/scripts This article assumes that you are using Firefox as your browser. If you are not, it's time to change. You can get Firefox at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US If you think all this sounds troublesome, I assure you it is not. It's just a few mins of work at most and the benefit is tremendous. Specially for gmail users: Go to Tools >> Greasemonkey >> Manage User Scripts... Then edit your textarea backup script and add this line to it. http*://mail.google.tld/mail/* This will prevent the script from e.g. backing up your gmail address fields and all. I am using an older version of the script myself and remarks for the new version seem to suggest that this has been fixed. Whichever, I think it doesn't hurt to play it safe. :P |
