Data loss after page refresh in selenium

Question

Answer 1

In case you are talking about stopping the page loading in selenium, you could try these:

driver.findElement(By.tagName("body")).sendKeys("Keys.ESCAPE");

OR

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript("return window.stop");

Answer 2

The easiest way to reload current page without losing form data, use the WebStorage where you have -persistent storage (localStorage) or session based (sessionStorage) which remains in memory until your web browser is closed.

Something on these lines:

Try this when the page is about to reload,

window.onbeforeunload = function() {
   localStorage.setItem(name, $('#inputName').val());
   localStorage.setItem(phone, $('#inputPhone').val());
   localStorage.setItem(subject, $('#inputAddress').val());
}
