This is one of the things that greatly annoy me about Internet
Explorer:
Sometimes, I'd spend five minutes typing a long message for email, or
google, or a web message board. I hit the "send" button, and voila!
I get the "page cannot be displayed" screen. I don't even understand
why I get that page --- I'm using DSL, and my internet connection is
allegedly active all the time. It's happened so often (maybe 10-15%
of my messages) that I'm getting quite curious to know what is causing
this. Is my connection to the website timing out? What kind of
assinine website will time out your connection if you spend 5 minutes
writing a message?
Anyway, after the "page cannot be displayed" screen, I have no choice
but to hit the "Back" button. And guess what --- the
email/google/message board is blank. Everything I wrote in the past 5
minutes is gone, and I'm annoyed as hell that I have to retype
everything.
Short of maybe activating the "save forms" features of IE, is there
any way to avoid all these problems?
The "Back" button annoys me to no end. Sometimes, I'll press the
"back" button once, and IE will instantaneously switch to the previous
page without loading. I assume it was simply recalling it from cache.
If I was typing a message, then usually the message I wrote would
still be there. But other times, when I press the "back" button once,
and IE will revisit the previous page instead of simply recalling it
from cache. Why does IE behave in such a seemingly arbitrary manner?
A simple press of the "back" button would sometimes reload a page from
the web, other times recall a page from cache? I wish there was a way
to tell IE to recall webpages only from cache whenever I use the
"back" button.
