I often have a number of windows open on my computer. One of the many extravagancies that come with new age super fast computers. Well, many windows translates into lots of wrong-window-closing-situations. Now its fine if I type a long report in word and close the window by mistake because it does not just close (it warns me first) but the same is not true for my browser window on which I might have just type a new idea for the bakery or written an email to my professor explaining exactly why I was not able to submit my report on time. I'd like to see the same feature in browser windows that have a ‘text area’ inside. Now I know this is easy to do because any script can detect a text area; so I imagine it can be done with IE or any other browser. Any thoughts?

       Even better if it sends your halfbakery idea to your professor so he knows why you're late. Nice idea [+]

       Shouldn't there be a big back button at the upper right of the screen that backs up anything?

       Use Mozilla firefox, and always keep more than one tab open.. Thus, when you try to close it, it will ask you whether to close the browser. [ Offtopic] Mozilla firefox, if you did not know, is making HUGE news.. so dont ignore it.. :) and so are every thing that are Open source.. use open source software.. If you have an idea that can make computing experiance, better, You can discuss with the Software authors easily. If you are a geek urself, you can even mdify the source yourself and share the improvement !! :o I believe, If you post this idea in Mozilla Firefox mailing lists, within two version, it will be implemented, or at least someone will create a plugin for it.
