Welcome to TSDN!

Is this a good idea anyway? If the user chooses to leave and you submit the form, it will go to the action page - totally unexpected behaviour!

onbeforeunload is non-standard, but support has been added in Firefox and one or two other browsers. However, it should be used with caution. When significant changes have been made which could be lost, a reminder before the user closes or navigates away from the page would be useful.

I don't think you can submit a form when a user leaves a page, but you can pop up a warning if you want.

Dear Netscape/Javascript/Java gurus, I am trying to submit a form onUnLoad when the user accidentally closes the browser before clicking on a link to complete the transaction. On IE, this works fine. But on Netscape or Mozzilla browsers, the form would simply not submit when the browser is closed.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
