on page exit

[roundcrisis]

hi all:

i need to be able to save some info before a user leaves a page,
Is there anything standard for this?
something similar to google email, when you are composing if you want
to navigate away from the composing page it asks you if you want to
discard the messge
Any pointers very apreciated

Cheers

Thanks that worked, I was trying with onbeforeunload but that only
works on ie not in firefox

You must have been doing something wrong then: onbeforeunload works
perfectly well on firefox.

No.

discard the messge

And what if you simply turn off your computer?
