I have a web form in my application that will be used for both viewing and
updating information. I have a requirement that if any data has been changed
on the page and the user attempts to leave the page without saving, the user
gets prompted with a message asking if they want to save changes.
It seemed logical to put any code to handle this in the page unload event,
however the page unload event gets fired every time the page does a post
back, like when the user changes a value in a dropdown list for example.
I attempted to check for IsPostBack, before displaying the save message. But
in that case the save message never gets displayed, even when leaving the
page completely.
Does anyone have any idea how to tackle this problem, or is this an
impossible requirement?

I too have this requirement, I've been able to use both
onUnLoad, and onBeforeUnload( ) to catch the request to
leave the page, however I havent been able to distinguish
between page reload/postback and going away from the page.
I figured if there was a way I could know what the new url
was, I'd be ok, but doesnt seem that information is
avaliable at the time hte unload event is fired off.
If you find any more information on this... please do post
it here.
Thanks

I will. I've been struggling with this for a few days and noticed your post
after I had already posted mine. I tried the suggestion that someone replied
to you with and it doesn't work any better.

Scott,
I tried the potential solution outlined in the second article you
referenced. While it helped simplify the process of adding this functionality
to the page, it didn't quite solve my overall problem. That is when I make a
change to a dropdown list, that I also want to monitor for changes, it fires
the function to display the prompt to save message. Ideally this function
would not fire unless I was actually leaving the page and not when doing a
postback.
Is this something that can be accomplished or have I been tasked with a
requirement that is impossible to fulfill?
Thank you for your input.
Mike

I went back and turned off the auto postback for my dropdown lists and now it
is working perfectly. Thanks again for your help.

This was a very informative read... I basically have a
single object I want to monitor (which I can handle and
emit the proper javascript variables myself) However when
I use similar code to check for confirm, and it always
fires on every postback, even if I've got needsToConfirm =
false in form submit.

Hi,
I have been struggling with an unusual problem with a
dropdownlist web control for quite some time now.
Cutting straight to the problem, I am setting the
selected item in the dropdownlist using the IndexOf
method of the list's items collection (in my debugging
case this successfully sets the selectedindex to 15).
After postback, the selecteditem is always the first item
in the list, losing the selection I set previously (And

I have a frameset with an index frame and a main frame. The aspx pages in
the main frame are loaded based on the hyperlinks clicked in the index
frame. In any aspx page in the main frame I want to save the information in
the various controls before the new aspx page is loaded. I thought I could
use the Page event Unload, but it does not seem to be triggering when the
aspx page is replaced in the frame by another aspx page.

I have an application that includes an activex component
that consumes resources that must be released when the a
page is unloaded.
Toward this end I subscribe to the unload event of the
body of my page in javascript.
However, if I turn on smart navigation, any button that
does a server.transfer fails to fire the javascript unload
event.

Hi All,
In an ASP.NET project I am trying to improve performance. As it is now there
seems to be a huge bottleneck between the end of the Page.PreRender event
and the beginning of the Page.Unload event. Using a performance analyzing
tool (AqTime 4.9) I am not able to find out what is happening between these
2 events. Can anyone shine some light on what is normally going on between
these 2 events?
Thanks in advance.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
