onbeforeunload event is fired twice

I have been working on a script to check if a page has
changed before the user leaves the page. I have a call to
a javascript function on the onbeforeunload event.

This seems to work in most cases. However, in my
testing, the onbeforeunload event is sent twice. This
causes problems in certain cases where I want to suppress
the "The page has changed" message, as in the case
of a "Cancel" button being hit.

This is a similar problem to the one discussed
10/17/2003 in:
"need JavaScript to prevent people from closing a browser
window"

I am using C# with ASP.Net version 1.1, and my HTML is
within a frameset.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If there is a
workaround to "eat" the second event, that might work.

Dear Sirs, I want to give the user of my intranet a warning that if he uses the explorers right corner 'X' to close the browser he looses his information. I tried to prevent him from closing, or saving the data, but this seems impossible, so a warning like 'the things you just typed must be entered again probably' is good enough. I prefere onbeforeunload for onunload, which is more standard, since the data that is soon to be lost, are...

Introduction I've seen many questions asked about how to disable the browser's back button and in the past I've replied with "it's simply not possible". It's not a good idea to disable the back button anyways, if the user ventures away from your page then they wouldn't have this button at their disposal. The main reason people ask how to control or disable the back button is because they have a need to control sensitive (and/or) dynamic web...
