wet_parachute is a plugin for Textpattern which enhances the “content > write” screen.
Have you ever lost one of your articles because you inadvertently closed your browser window or navigated away from the article edit screen without saving your changes? wet_parachute issues a warning on such occasions.
Adding yet another convenience, it restores the caret position after an intermediate save action and thus allows you to continue typing at the last insertion point without having to scroll to your last editing position whenever you save an article.
Usage
Install. Enable. Enjoy. No changes to your site required. wet_parachute relies on several non-standard browser properties to provide all included features.

|---|---|---|
| Firefox | Yes | Yes |
| Internet Explorer 7 | Yes | No |
