Add Autosave functionality

It would be nice if Content module would save every 1 or 2 minutes the entered data into a temporary database table to prevent session timeouts.

Hi,

good idea. For News I have already looked at it before. Alongside the draft functionality that is in News. I have been looking AJAX periodic functions to do an autosave to draft for News.
For Content this could be done kind of similar. Difficult is that in Content only the HTML contentitems are easy autosaved and the pages are not static of course. So the autosave table has to be dynamic as well. Beasides that there is no workflow like draft as in News yet.

This would be more focused towards CkEditor now.
