 * I have a pretty long form that will take 20mins+ to complete.
 * If the user should accidentally close the browser or their computer goes to sleep
   mid-form completion, is there a way to maintain the part-completed form so their
   data is not lost and can be picked up again next time?
 * All help very gratefully received.
 * Thanks.

 * I am looking for exactly the same thing. CF7 does allow you to save and retrieve
   cookies. That’s a little over my head, though. If you have come into a solution,
   please reply back to this thread. Would appreciate it. — Mike

 * I found this which is a really good start.

 * I basically copied the HTML example on a test page on my site and it works. As
   far as integrating with CF7… I have no idea. Yet. This is (hopefully) a step 
   in the right direction.
