PS: With regard to "saving entered datas in forms", after some WEB research, I found it's somewhat obscure to know whether there's a way to do it the "standard way". Some sources like caching and some others hate it.
As we know, caching form data can be a huge security threat. That mainly depends on what data is remembered and on the user's environment.
For instance, some banks refuse to work with browsers that cache the pages (verifying browser signatures), with a view to protect their customers from eavesdropping (as it could happen when they make an operation and leave for a while to the bathroom; Any person in the same office can click a few Backs and read what was done and read the hand-typed camps).
I'd appreciate some more research on this topic (certainly a time-comsuming task I can't work on now). To know what some serious browsers do, is a good starting point. One of our objectives is personal security and privacy, and it takes a lot of work.
Jorge, at least while we wouldn't have normal cache in dillo (I mean cached page expiration) it would not be much reason to work on it further. After that approach must be diffent, values should be saved in cache (or in file ?) not in browser window. Until normal cache to appear in main branch there is not much reason to reimplement subj, IMHO. Nikita
