Are you sure you want to leave this page script

[techgump]

I would like a small script like:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onbeforeunload = function(){ return "Are you sure you want to leave the page?"; }
</script>

This will prevent the sudden unload of the page on an accidental "back" click or close.

Good idea. This could help a few people.

hmm... I tried it and I don't like it. I hate sites that keep bothering me when I want to close them. Misclicks aren't probably that common to warrant this, you will have to be more careful

[Ratburntro44]

Good point. It could be helpful, but would more often than not be annoying.

I keep accidentally signing out and it really annoys me

[Ratburntro44]

Signing out? How do accidentally press the sign out button?

[Joshua]

idk, maybe i'm just really twitchy or clumsy or something

[Ratburntro44]

Hmm. Either way, most people wouldn't need a leave page script.

[Joshua]

i would though, thats all that counts

Then why don't you open up command prompt and enter in some code to make that happen just for you?
