Hi,

I need to add some client scripts to the <body> tag's "onbeforeunload"
event. Does anyone know how I can use the Attributes.Add() to accomplish this?

I tried adding id and runat="server" attributes to the body tag but still
can't access it from the code-behind.

Thanks,
WB

As the body tag isn't inside the form tag, it won't be declared
automatically in the code behind, you have to declare it yourself:

<body id="Body" runat="server">

protected HtmlGeneericControl Body;

Body.Attributes.Add("onbeforeunload", "alert('Good riddance.');");

Note:
The onbeforeunload event is not a part of the standard, it will only
work in Internet Explorer, and perhaps not even there if the page is in
standards mode.
