I just read the onbeforeunload reference at:
http://www.msdn.microsoft.com/librar...foreunload.asp
and it states that the event can be invoked using the form submit method. I
checked the '__doPostBack' script and it contains the line
'theform.submit()'.
So I guess it should work...but it doesn't. Any ideas?
