[Javascript] Grab close window call

Tue Apr 1 06:30:57 CDT 2008

Hello,

Thanks for the advice so far.

What I have done is this. I have a page, that launches a pop window. Now, on the pop up window, I have this code in the <head>

----------------------------

<script language="javascript">
window.onbeforeunload=confirmExit;
function confirmExit(){
return "Do u want to close this page?"
}
</script>

----------------------------

But I need to change the "return" statement to grab if they click "OK" or Cancel", as if they click "OK", I want to grab this and fire of an ajax call, and same goes for if the click "Cancel" I need to fire off an ajax call if they do that as well.

How can I alter that "return" statement to cope with these 2.

Any ideas would be great.

Thanks,
