body onUnload

[snowboardr]

I was wondering if anyone knew how to show a confirmation message such as gmail does if you try and close the window after you typed a message it shows a okay / cancel message. I already have this for all links and it works great, but I dont know how to get the message to work when they try and close the browser... I have tried onUnload, however that just shows the message after the tab in firefox is already closed...

thanks

You might want to test that in browsers other than IE...

Hope this helps,

It seems to be working well in

As this:
onbeforeunload="DiscardMessage();"

In Firefox & IE

But it does nothing in Opera... any suggests?

Try Google? It's not a hugely cross-browser thing, so really cannot be relied on if you need to support multiple browsers.

It doesnt seem like opera or safari have support at all, because even gmail doesnt show a message after closing with something typed in the compose window...

Hey do you know a way to "emulate" safari on pc?
