Yes, you can do it using onbeforeunload event listener.
function confirmUnload() {
var mes = "Your message here";
if (event) {
event.returnValue = mes;
}
else {
// do what?
}
}
window.onbeforeunload = confirmUnload;
The first branch is for the standard event handling. I know that
Firefox supports this as well by now but in some rather tweaky way and
I don't have the workaround snippet handy right now, so for // do
what? someone else may help here.
