Are you Sure You Want to Leave This Page?

[Chordling]

I am not sure whether this would be supported through the site's services but I wanted to suggest integrating a message that warns a user when they are about to leave a page with unsaved text.  There doesn't seem to be a current "draft" feature so I believe that a lot of users may find something like this to be useful.


Below are some examples from Facebook and Gmail.


Ex 1: Facebook warning message.





Ex 2: Gmail warning message.

Yes, something along these lines would be so helpful. I lost a profile the other day because I forgot to save the finalized draft in a word doc before hitting the save button.  Sadly, the site had apparently gone down and I had no idea so my work was lost an auto save feature or a warning to back  up my work might have prevented a total loss. At least as the bugs are being worked out of the system this would be a highly valuable tool.

Just lost my edits for the 3rd time in 2 days   :x .  Just a manual auto-save or one that does so every few minutes, would be great.
