Nope. It's gone... 99.9% of the time at any rate. If you're still on the
page and the page refreshed WHEN you clicked the clear button (which is just
plain bad web scripting and unlikely to be encountered) and is the old page
is still in memory then there's the 0.1% chance that you can press the back
button and have it still be there. Other than that? No but the bonus is that
next time you type it you'll have worded it better probably and typed it
faster. See? It's helping both your English, Language, and Internet Usage
skills. You have to be positive about these things. It happens to all of us.
