PROGRAMMING

Hi

I have the following code to popup the "Are you sure you want to leave this page" message:

<script type="text/javascript">
var popit = true;
window.onbeforeunload = function() {
if(popit == true) {
popit = false;
return "Are you sure you want to leave this page?";
}
}
</script>

The problem is that I see the popup even when I click on internal links and internal pages.

How do I make the popup appear ONLY when a user closes the browser tab?

Thanks.

You can try something like this

1) Give each internal link a class, perhaps call it IntLink
2) Cancel the onbefore unload for each link. Example using JQuery:

$(document).ready(function(){ $('.IntLink').click(function(e){ return false; }); });

  You can try to use the following code and only need to give all external links the standard attribute rel="ext" to denote that those are external links.
  For example:
  <a href="http://google.com" rel="ext">Google</a>
  <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
  <script>
  window.onbeforeunload = function() {
  return "You're leaving the site.";
  };
  $(document).ready(function() {
  $('a[rel!=ext]').click(function() { window.onbeforeunload = null; });
  
  });
  </script>
  
  I hope this helps to resolve your issue.
  
  Thanks
