Another thought on this: Use an onload event (similar to those used for
Suckerfish menus) to loop through all of a page's links and add an
onclick event which passes this.hostname to a function which compares
the link hostname to the current domain name. If they are the same, do
nothing; if not, issue the alert. The alert will halt the transfer until
cleared. Since the onclick event takes precedence over the link
activation, you can eliminate the unload event.
