How to get Confirm before leaving a page

Anburaja

Hi,

I want to get confirmation before leaving a page. If the selects Yes i want to leave the page else i want to retain the page in the browser.

i tried with

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

<body onbeforeunload="return HandleOnClose()" >

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 function HandleOnClose()

 {  

  if (confirm('Do you want to leave'))

         return ture;

  else
 
}

Appreciating your reply.

function HandleOnClose()

{

if (confirm('Do you want to leave'))

return ture;

else

return false;

}

the only probelm with this code is that most browsers now days detect for the return false onBeforeUnload and display there own error message.( a way to keep people from locking people in there website.) I would suggest doing some browser checking and just returning false for browsers with there own errors to prevent the double message.

Both of these are for security reasons and cannot be changed.

Don't try to force anything. Use onbeforeunload as a reminder in case they've forgotten. If they still refuse to save, well, that's another problem altogether.
