This is a client issue not a forum issue
having a cookie would not help, your website knows absolutely nothing about the use of the back button, it is a client function, pressing the backbutton on your browser loads the page from the browsers cache, the page does not execute so would not load the cookie anyway.
I can move away from this page and come back without losing what I have typed<

Yes, but that is a browser issue, as HuwR stated. moving back and forward, most of the times, won't request the page again, so that does not fix it. Also, the server has no way of knowing that you have typed something since that is done in your browser, so the server cannot create cookies at all. IE allows me to move backwards and forwards without problems, so use IE if you want to have it this way.<

Here is the solution you seek :

Ctrl-A
Ctrl-C

when you return to the page use :

Ctrl-V

Oh ok thanks for everything

I'm gonna try to study something else so solve the problem, beacuse the user i have are used to write something and send it a lot later.
Maybe could be intresting to add a botton as quick save(as CTRL+C), so the user during typing can click it to save the massage in a local cookie or somewhere . What about it??<

I doubt that will work. Sounds like the best thing for them is to use Notepad or similar.<

No, I think you just need to teach them how to use the clipboard, or a more permanent solution is notepad.<
