The code I wrote is something like the following: <script language='JavaScript'> function BeforeUnload(){ if(confirm("Are you sure?")){ return true; } return false; } </script> <body onBeforeUnload='return BeforeUnload();'> When I try to move away from the page I'm in the browser popup the confirm box and then another browser confirm box. Can I somehow cause the browser not to popup the second confirm box? Is there is any better way to do so? Thanks in advanced Yossi

Hi.
I'm tring to hold the user in a specific page therefore I catches the onBeforeUnload BODY event.
The code I wrote is something like the following:
<script language='JavaScript'>
function BeforeUnload(){
if(confirm("Are you sure?")){
return true;
}
return false;
}
</script>

<body onBeforeUnload='return BeforeUnload();'>

When I try to move away from the page I'm in the browser popup the confirm box and then another browser confirm box.
Can I somehow cause the browser not to popup the second confirm box?
Is there is any better way to do so?

Thanks in advanced
Yossi

I solved it using the following code:
<BODY onBeforeUnload="event.returnValue = 'Profile data is not saved.';">
The browser pops up a confirm box automatic and add the event.returnValue content to the confirm box.
