Autosaving in asp application

[Dave]

I have an asp app and I want to autosave data every 2 minutes that the user
is entering in case the users connection to the server is lost. This would
ensure that the user can only at most lose 2 minutes of data he/she is
entering.

What coding do we use to achieve this. Thanks!

You could use setTimeOut client side to automatically postback once the time
is elapsed (but what if data are not valid etc..).

My personal preference would be likely to have the more robust application
possible and to keep the user the master onboard...

I would probably make this post a hidden frame (or call a webservice). Then
you would have to keep two forms of data store (one fore complete data, one
for partial data) as the data as the user enters it may be complete garbage
and fail all of your validation.

The postback will be extremely annoying.
