I can toggle back to the tab if it's still open and see the file, but it won't save any changes at that point. This is the most frustrating because I have set up 100+ html/php/js/css files and then they break.
One other thing to consider, if you are opening large numbers of such files, is trying to integrate a version control system into your workflow. Then you can work with a local copy of the files, and then easily commit your changes to the server. The benefits of this are a) you can work with a local copy, and b) you can easily get diffs, revert changes, etc.
It's usually (not always) a bad idea to have a workflow built around editing html/etc. files on the server directly.
