Auto-Save Posts (Gmail style)

[joeboo]

After switching to Gmail, the feature I love most on there has to be the auto save draft feature. If you dont know what that is.. well basically, as you are typing up an email, it automatically saves the email in case you press the back button or you lose the browser some how.

I run a role playing forum, and a lot of people type up very long stories and they sometimes hit the back button on accident losing the post they were typing. I know it can easily be created with a simple AJAX function to save the post like every minute or something.

I wanted to know if anyone wanted to take a wack at it. If not, I'll try it out, but I just dont have much time at the moment.

Hope you consider this! It can be very useful! Thanks.
