Not infrequently, when you submit a form, the page simply redisplays with an error message, and everything that you wrote is wiped out. (Web sites have gotten better about this, but it still happens at least once a month). This can be infuriating if your submission included a long comment, complaint or review which you now have to recompose and retype. I’ve learned to copy those long texts before submitting the form, and save them in some local temporary app so that when it happens, I can just paste the paragraphs back into the box.
