Redisplaying page in OnUnload

I've got a window that I want to pop up when the user closes it (only closes when they click OK).

I read a message on here a long time ago where somebody succeeded in doing that, but no details. Can anybody give me a kick in the right direction? Thanks.

I'm not sure this work exactly you want it to be or not, but this one will close the window and then the confirmation box will appear, if the user click cancel button, it will reopen it again.

<html>
<head>

<script language=javascript>
function confirmit()
{
var closeit= confirm("Do you really want to close this page?");
if (closeit == true)
{window.close();}

else
{window.open("test01.html");}
}
</script>
</head>

Body content goes here.

</body>
</html>

note: test01.html is the code page name, you can change it to whatever your page name is.

Hmm is this code fulfill your needs?

Sorry for double post, but this really important. Plz replace the function above with this one instead.

else
{window.open("test01.html");}
}
</script>

I remove the window.close() function because there are the times the user will change the url but not intend to close the browser.

Okay, I almost make a recode for triple posting. But I do brought you good news :)

function confirmit()
{
event.returnValue = "You can add some comment Here";
}

</script>
</head>

hahhahahhahaa

</body>
</html>

This code will work perfectly as you wish.
how ever the "Are You sure you want to navigate away from bla bla" cannot be removed or altered..
Instead of onunload, I use onbeforeunload, so the page will not be close down :)

EDIT: OMG, there is an edit button! sorry about that.. 2 above post can be delete.

The onbeforeunload doesn't work if you are not using IE... I may play with the onunload stuff. Thanks for helping!
