ballhogjoni Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I have the following script that shows a simple confirm dialog when a visitor leaves my page. I want this to just show up if the user doesn't submit the form on page. So if the user closes the window, types a new url in the address bar, or simply leaves my page, I want the confirm box to show up before they leave; I don't want the confirm box to show up if the user submits the form on my page. Can someone show me how to do this? <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function exitWindow() { if (confirm("xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx")) { return false; } else { var newwindow = location.href = "http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"; if (window.focus) { newwindow.focus(); } } } </script> </head> <BODY bgcolor="#FFFFFF" onunload="exitWindow()"> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/88484-solved-onunload-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballhogjoni Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 THANK you foryour help. The problem is when I submit the form, it doesmn't change the variable to yes, therefore it still asks the confirm question.

phpQuestioner Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 when I submit the form it does; don't submit the page back to itself or you will keep getting the confirm prompt. if your going to submit the page back to itself; you need to dynamically change the "occured" variable to "yes" or something else completely. do something like this: <script language="javascript"> var occured="<?php if (isset($_POST['submission'])) { echo "yes"; } else { echo "no"; } ?>"; function ucantgoyet() { if (occured == "no") { confirm("Please Stay!"); document.location = document.URL; } } </script> </head> <body onunload="ucantgoyet()"> <form name="form1" action="somepage.php" method="post"> <input type="submit" name="submission" value="Submit" onclick='occured="yes"; return true'> </form> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/88484-solved-onunload-help/#findComment-453167 Share on other sites More sharing options...

phpQuestioner Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Your using two onclicks for one button; not two onclick events; but two actual onclicks. That might not be your only problem, but it's diffidently one you need to fix. You need to combine the two onclick events into one onclick.
