Welcome to The Scripts.

I don't think that is possible. If the user decides to leave the page of their own accord by typing the URL in the address bar, then you should have no control over that.

What you can do is control the links on your own page. They can all run some javascript which displays the alert and then transfers the user to the new page.

You can trap the onunload event in Firefox and do it using some very Firefox-specific code, but otherwise it is impossible. It opens up a whole can of worms with privacy anyway.

 alert('Page navigation is not allowed');

 document.location.href = the_previous_URL;

}

That is bad practice - preventing the user from leaving a page. The most you should do is ask for confirmation ("Are you sure you wish to leave this page?") though I disagree with that too unless you have a web application and the user has unsaved changes.
