+/*
+ * A simple autosave handler for plain text widgets. This handler was
+ * developed for the textarea formfield, as used by the test-item
+ * procs, but might be as well used for other purposes. A handler is
+ * registered for key-strokes, and after a certain idle_time (in ms),
+ * the content of the widget pointed to by the proveided ID is sent
+ * via AJAX. The POST URL is taken from the form, but the suffix
+ * "m=autosave-attribute" is appended ot it (xowiki method call).
+ *
+ * This script does not depend on extanal helper such as jquery.
+ *
