Really strange. I tried with Mozilla Firefox and IE 6.0 and none of them lost
the entry data. What browser did you use? As far as I learned, data only
vanishes on pages which have an HTTP header containing "Expires: ..." with a
date in the past. But I made sure that the entry form does not contain this.
