Can't seem to attach to "onbeforeunload" event.

Robert Oschler

I've successfully attached to the "onclick" and several other events using
AttachEvent(). But when I try to attach to the "onbeforeunload" event it
doesn't work (the handler I've assigned is never called).

Is there something different about this event?

Is there another way to attach to this event that would work, other than
manually filling in the <BODY> tag with an 'onunloadbefore' assignment?

thx
