Custom onbeforeunload traitment

nicolas.hilaire

Hi all,

I just want to define my own confirm box to ask before a changing page.

For now, i'm doing this :

---------------------------------------
function myFunc()
{
return "Leave or Stay ?";
}
<body onbeforeunload="return myFunc()">
---------------------------------------

And this gives me a confirm box with "OK" button and "Cancel" button.

I want to keep this functionnality, but i'd like to desing my own
confirm box. I first want to change the caption of the button (for
example "Leave" and "Stay"), and why not, having a beautiful confirm
box with layer and div ...

Is it possible ? and how ?

Thanks a lot for you help

Nicolas H.

My IE (5.2 Mac) doesn't know 'onbeforeunload'
My FF display a box (in Fr)
- telling me I'm leaving a page
- adding something like :
Do you really want to leave ? if yes hit [OK]
else hit [Cancel]
- with your 'Leave or Stay' in middle
You can't modify alert or confirm boxes (except with IE Win, I think)

perhaps :
You may have a hidden, absolute div pretty styled as you like
and on leave event make it visible, trying to move it in center window
