Re: server-side caching to avoid losing client work-in-progress

Just from the top of my head, you could have the page in question refresh
itself on a period interval using the HTTP-Refresh option and have the info
resubmitted. That way you can keep the information on the session, or better
yet persisit it to a database since the session wuld also timeout in the
server.

Hope it helps.
