hmm, but it doesn't if someone just turns their PC off does it?
my point is (extreme as it may sound) there is no 100% way of doing it. If
you're therefore building an application that's relying on saving this data,
then you need to rethink this stage.
if it's not that mission critical then there are quite a few ways you could
do it.
for instance, you could have a Javascript that fires onchange for every
input field.
The script would change the url of an invisible gif somewhere in the page to
the url of a CF page that saves the form fields either in a cookie or in the
db etc (ie an image pipe)
example
<img src="/images/myimage.cfm" name="myImage">
<form name="myform">
<input type="text" name="myinput" value="" onchange="saveData()">
<script>
function saveData() {
document.myImage.src = '/images/myimage.cfm?data=' +
document.myform.myinput.value;
}
</script>
myimage.cfm would save that input's data to a text input.
