A detail about submit
Hi list,
when i submit a page, browser goes to another page with only submit/cancel
buttons but, often i cannot remember what i'm submitting.. Name of page will be
a simple but useful addition i think..

Yes.
The some cons are imho:
- I have disabled pop ups in my browser :)
- I will use my browser for other tasks in between, thats not possible
if the pop up is modal
- If its not modal, I will have to search the pop up on my desktop or
so, that annoys me.
At the end: I want to control what is going on. Pop ups seem to force me
to do sth. even if I have decided to do other things. Thats not usable,
imho.
