So there goes another long, detailed, 30 minute to write forum post thanks to Internet Explorer's bugy moronic backspace button.
When is Microsoft going to hot fix this moronic defective by design feature out of their browser?
Should I just switch browsers to another one where the designers didn't think to bind random keys to clear text areas?
Oh I know... When I hit back the browser NEVER clears text areas, right? Well no, because on 99% of sites I use that's exactly what it does.
Seriously, FIX IT!

IE complies with the HTML specification in reload-from-cache behaviour.

I don't give a rats. It was a non-SSL page and I re-visited it within ten seconds and the content was gone.
This isn't the first time either. And it won't be the last until they fix it.

err... if you hit forward (not revisit the page by clicking on the link) it should refill your text area for you.

Yes you should. Glad I could help.
Are you expecting a better answer after your style of asking questions (moronic, rats) -

Actually, the page's developer is at fault. They're not setting their chaching headers properly.

I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. What buggy backspace button? -

It's alliteration

That or re-typing your half-hour post? -

Sure, but re-typing your half hour post shouldn't have to be done because of a single, undoable press of the backspace button.
I think at moments like this keyloggers are useful - dig into the logger and pull out what you lost!

I tend to type long posts in Word (Or Windows Live Writer!) because of the great spell check. -

I tend to agree. Occasionally I may accidently hit the backspace button and the browser goes back. No key should hold that much power!

It's not a buggy backspace button, if there is such a thing. See here:W3bbo wrote:

Then someone needs to write to virtually every web admin on the internet and or the writers of most forum software.
Or Microsoft could just fix IE. -

It's been shown time and time again that "web developers" have no intention to follow any kind of standard above HTML 3.2. Why would you think that Microsoft asking them to fix something they have no idea it even exist would have any effect is beyond me

Or you could just finally accept that the web (and a web browser as its only UI) is an awful read-write medium.
