I accidentally leave a page without posting, losing all my work. Avoid?

On a news site like cbc.ca or RichardDawkins.net or opposingviews.com I post messages. I often forget to post and leave the page and lose all my work. Is there some way to get Firefox to block me from leaving?
Similarly, sometimes I accidentally start a new post before I post the previous one. Is there a way to get FireFox block me from starting a new post?

Some sites display a warning when you leave unfinished form input asking if you're sure you want to navigate away from the page. I can't think of any built-in setting like that, but there might be a way to add your own warning using an add-on. Of course you would only want this to appear when you had at least started typing something or it would be incredibly annoying. You might try searching on the Add-ons site and see if there's anything useful there: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
On the second point about starting a new post, is that the same problem, just leaving the page a different way? Or is that a problem within the same page (for example, the response form is cleared to start a new response)? That sounds a little trickier to tackle.

  • Website page with jquery datepicker does not calculate dates while other pages without datepicker and all other browsers do their job

    I wrote two mobile pages with dreamweaver cs5.5 and jquery. Both do online calculations. Both appear and accept input. One page using jquery datepicker does not calculate. Solely in Firefox. IE9, Safari, Chrome display correct results. Debuggers show no error. Firebug seems telling me that Firefox does not get a result from datepicker function.

    Thanks. But did not help. I had done this several times before, reload, clear cache, disable extensions etc. Always used standard theme. I tried the same on two different machines, with next to last version and after having installed the latest version. In the debugger I can see that variables "zeit1" (jquery datepicker) were not filled with the datepicking results, while in all other browsers zeitX shows the current date and the app shows the results that are expected. Given that another comparable app - only without date and datepicker functions - works in Firefox I think one should explore why solely datepicker - or the function using datepicker - does not show results solely in Firefox on desktop (no mobile device with Firefox on hand) . I indeed believe that there is a mistake in my code which is detected only by Firefox (10.0.2 at the present time, with Win7 64bit - had the problem with 3.6... on another machine). Given that you could run the app with results on your machine: could it be the context of locale/culture (here: de)?
    Kind regards

  • Downloading photos without resyncing  losing all the photos already on ipod

  • I have a new iMac, and successfully transferred all the music. But I still can't get my iPod to download from iTunes without it losing all of the songs, photos, or tones.

    I have transferred all of the songs from the old iMac we own to a new one we just bought. I have already had one problem with the music as in some songs wouldn't play without me using sharing. So I took and old computer off the sharing network and all is well there. But my iPod Touch will not download any music, tones, or pictures without me taking all of the previous items on my iPod Touch. Anyone have any clue what I should do?

    Since I am impatient and can't wait for 90 minutes for an answer, I have decided to lose everything on my iPod and try to remember all the songs I had on them. But if anyone can help me prevent this in the future, that woud be great!

  • My wife wants my music on her iphone, how do I sync her phone with my itunes library without her losing all of her contacts?

    My wife wants my music on her iphone, i am worried about syncing her phone to my itunes and her losing all of her contacts.  Should I not be worried?  How should I proceed?

    She should not sync her phone to a different iTunes library.  Once solution is to set up Home Sharing, then in iTunes on her computer drag and drop the music from your library to hers. Then she can sync this music from her own iTunes library to her phone.  (She will need to authorize her computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase any purchased music in order to sync it to her phone.)  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4620.

    You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.

  • How can I split my current video into several segments. To put on 3 different disks. Can I do this with out losing all the work?

    I need help. I have completed my video and now realize it is too big for a single DVD. Is there a way I can split the video and not lose the current info so I can put video on 3 different disks?
    Thank You

    Thanks for the update. Looking forward to your results from further searches for that .iso file.
    If you burn a Timeline content to a video file saved to the computer hard drive, you can use Publish+Share/Computer/and one of those choices to get a video file (.mov, .mpg, .avi, wmv, mp4, m2t). But, this route does not allow for menus. You can take the saved video file and transfer it to USB Flash Drive or memory card, and, if your player supports that, you can playback the file with the player.
    When you burn a Timeline content to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, menus are supported. And, what you have on the DVD after the burn to disc are two folders (OpenDVD and VIDEO_TS) in the correct disc system format. It is the VIDEO_TS Folder on the disc that has the video files and menu files for DVD-VIDEO format.
    When you take the Timeline content to Publish+Share/Disc/DVD, but use Folder (4.7 GB), you end up with a saved folder which contains the same OpenDVD Folder and VIDEO_TS Folder that you would have gotten from the direct burn to disc. But, now you need to take just the VIDEO_TS Folder from the saved folder and get it to a DVD disc in the correct disc system format. You do that with a free 3rd party software such as ImgBurn.
    If you go the ISO Image route, your DVD video files (video and menu et al) are saved as a file in format represented by the .iso file extension. It is essentially a copy of your DVD-VIDEO data including menus. The .iso image produced can be taken to DVD disc to produce the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc.
    So, in the case of burn to folder, you are looking for a saved folder with OpenDVD Folder and VIDEO_TS Folder inside.
    In the case of the burn to ISO Image, you are looking for a file with the .iso file extension.
    The Save In: location of the burn dialog should point to where you are going to find the folder or file after the burn to.
    Please consider. We will be watching for further developments.

    Add On...have you told me yet what is exactly shown in the Save In field of your burn dialog?
    C:\Users\owner\Documents or something else?

    You can try pausing the download by tapping on the Pages icon, but you may not be able to use Pages until the update completes. I don't know that for sure, but I wouldn't want to take the chance on corrupting the app and maybe the files.
