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.
