Add onbeforeunload event to page
Permalink
I want to add an onbeforeunload event to a page. It is a form page with multiple sections and I am finding that people are leaving the page without submitting the form. I want to verify that they really want to leave the page. Is that possible in Concrete5?
Yes, I'd say so. It sounds like you would need to be using jQurey or javascript for this, so you can use an HTML block and paste in your javascript code.
That's what I thought, but it doesn't seem to recognize the event onbeforeunload.
This is really more of a javascript issue than concrete5, but I would suggest that maybe you might try using jQuery instead of raw javascript. Take a look at
http://api.jquery.com/unload/
maybe something like
might get you close to what you want.

Interesting. Works in IE, but not in Chrome or Firefox. Oh yay! Browser wars for the win. Ugh.
