hello there, this is the script

HTML Code:

<html>

<script type="text/javascript">
 var bEdited=new Boolean();
  
 function UnLoadWindow() {
  if (!(bEdited)) {
   return
  }
  return 'You are sure want to exit from this website?'
 }
 
 window.onbeforeunload = UnLoadWindow;
</script>

<body>

<a href="?test=test">test</a>

</body>
</html>

You can't.

OnBeforeUnload triggers on EVERY change of window.location

Add an prompt() dialog to the action for closing the tab instead of the OnBeforeUnload event.
