Hi everyone,

I'm looking to display a message when someone visiting one of my pages closes their browser window or hits their back button, but I don't want a message to display if someone clicks a link on my page.

Is there any way to accomplish this?

Thanks!

Probably your best bet would be
document.Onunload="alert('No! Don't leave me')";

Does that work?

onbeforeunload and onunload will also trigger when the browser is going to a DIFFERENT page
