I've read one earlier question about 'confirming on exit' and I have pretty much the same question since the examples did not really work for me. I would like a javascript that when the user close the window (and ONLY close NOT when he/she clicks the backbutton) an alert message displays. This popupmessage should have both an "ok"-button and a "cancel"-button so the user can choose to go back to the page and close the message if he/she wants to OR close the window completely.
Is there anyone out there who has any idea? I guess this must be a pretty easy script for those who knows who to do it..
Thanx for the answer, I really appreciate it! It is almost the script I am looking for although I don't want a close-button IN the page. I only want the popupmessage to appear when I try to close the window. I mean when I press the x-button (for instance in Explorer) in the list of the window I have open.
its a pretty easy script:
function closeMe()
{
result=window.confirm("do you really want to close me?");
{
if (result==true){window.alert(result);}
else{window.alert(result);}
}
}
the above goes in the head.
your body tag would look like this:
<body onUnload="closeMe();">
now, all you have to do is change what happens when the variable, result, is made either true or false. right now all its doing is printing out the variable. hope this helps
The window will still close even if you press the X button.

Hi to everyone, I've found this thread by looking for the same thing... on Google . Right now I found this, that works on IE only but at least it's better than nothing (put anywhere in your page):
Code:
<script>
window.onbeforeunload = unloadMess;
function unloadMess(){
mess = "Going away... so bad..."
return mess;
}
</script>
It's what I was looking for, but it works for IE only and it's quite verbose lol... Anything better? Let me know...
