Hi,

how can I make Opera remember what I have written in forms? So that when I
have to fill out another form and type the first letter, a box appears with
all my former inputs?
This worked some time ago, but since I updated to Opera 5.02 it does not
work anymore.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Volkmar

Opera does not remember what you typed, it only remembers URLs in the
global history. But you can add a limited number of auto-complete
texts under 'File/Preferences/Personal info'.

Hmm.. in which cases doesn't it work? URL's please?

I'm aware of problems with meta-refresh and Javascript redirecting
replacing the current page in the history stack, and also page titles
that are exactly the same causing problems with the history.
