Autofill on long forms description

    Is there a mistake in your text? You write: "For very long forms, higher the better". Don't you mean "Lower the better?" If the form is long, isn't it better to choose a lower number and do an auto-save more often?

    Hi,

    Because saving data on long forms for a short period of time will cause a problem to the browser. There's a script for the auto-save function that is added to the form. That would stop if saving is triggered while the first saving process is still ongoing, and that would cause your browser to hang up.

    Thank you!

    Ok, got it! By the way, what would you call a "long" form? Please look at my longest form and tell me if it qualifies as "long". There are 22 entries in it. I have the autosave set to 20 seconds.
