this can only be done with client script. catch the page unload event. the
unload fires whenever the a new page is loaded, even the postback for the
page, so you will need some logic added in the postback routine to notify
the unload routine, that it does not need to do any checks.

I need to be able to determine if a user has actually made a change
when on either the edititem or insertitem templates of a formview
control.
Is there a standard way of handling this to prevent the user from
moving off the page.
I haven't seen this topic mentioned in any books I've looked at but it
must be something that everybody has to tackle in a production system.
