Hi bbdobuddy,

You can do this...

<form runat="server" ... onsubmit="javascript:return ConfirmBeforeUnload();">

 Hi,

 I was reading this previous post on how to prompt the user if they want to
 save their changes before they exit the form.

 I found this piece of code but am not sure where to put it

 <script language="javascript">
    window.attachEvent( "onbeforeunload", Window_OnBeforeUnload ) ;

   function ConfirmBeforeUnload()
   {
      var result = window.confirm("'Are you sure you want to do this?");
     if(!result)
     {
           return(false);
     }
  }
 </script>

 At the end i put this statement
 Page.RegisterStartupScript("clientScript", strScript)

 If the user clicks that they want to save their changes how do I call a
 function in my form from the javascript function.

 Regards
 Brian

the onbeforeunload fire for every page unload, even a submit, the event will
fire when the postback completes. to do a save changes, you need to set a
variable on a valid submit, so that the confim doesn't appear on every
navigate. you should also have a dirty variable that says whether any
changes where made. just add a onchange event handler to all controls and
set the variable.

if you want to canel unload, return true. if you want to save, you need to
cancel and start a postback (form.submit()).
