Could we have a JavaScript confirm when a new topic page is closed and something is entered into the content box. It is a rare occurrence but twice now I have accidentally closed down a thread I have been working on.

Hmmmm, I actually think I've done this a few times as well. It's super annoying, and you can never recreate that master piece again....lol. I don't know JavaScript, or even if this is possible....Luke? Do you think this is possible?

CODE
// Assuming jQuery is available
$(document).ready(function() {

$('textarea, input').change(function()
{
     $(window).unload(function (e)
     {
              if (confirm('Are you sure you would like to move away from this page? You changes will be lost'))
                      return true
               else
                      e.preventDefault();
      }
}

});

// Assuming jQuery is not available

var elements = document.getElementsByTagName('*');

var nm = elements.length;

for (i=0; i<nm; i++)
{
       if (elements[i].tagName == 'TEXTAREA' || elements[i].tagName == 'INPUT')
       {
                 elements[i].currentChangeFunction = elements[i].onchange;
                
                 elements[i].onchange = function () {
                                                                      window.onunload = function () { return confirm('Are you sure you would like to move away from this page? You changes will be lost'); };
                                                                      this.currentChangeFunction();
                                                                    };
        }

Hmm.. I went to the reply page and viwed source but couldn't see it anywhere or in any of the files with other jQuery stuff.

It could be that jQuery is in noConflict mode as well?

Ah! biggrin.gif

You only need to use one half of that script -- the top half if jQuery is on the forum and the bottomw half if not -- jQuery is there so you would use...

CODE
$(document).ready(function() {

$('textarea, input').change(function()
{
     $(window).unload(function (e)
     {
              if (confirm('Are you sure you would like to move away from this page? You changes will be lost'))
                      return true
               else
                      e.preventDefault();
      });
});

});

Okay, well now it works. However, if you click okay it still moves pages, as well as cancel. Weird.

Maybe that will help?

Click "Add Reply" and then click a link to away from that page. I guess Jacob hasn't made the latest change yet. Is it possible to extend this to browser's back button as well?

This is firing when the form is submitted, this is obviously incorrect as submitting the form is the goal of posting.

The preview button needs to be removed from this as well biggrin.gif

Also there is something weird happening in FF3. It asks if I want to navigate away from the page. I then click OK x amount of times. Nothing happens, it just keeps asking. Then I have to press cancel for the amount of times I clicked ok + 1 to move away from the page. Is anyone else having this?

The code hasn't changed since Jacob's last reply so everything is as it was.

I'm confused... I changed the script and uploaded it and it appears to work but there is another confirm element coming from somewehere with the text "Are you sure you would like to navigate away from this page. Press OK to confirm"

Anyone know where that is?

I turned the code off for you -- by commenting code out, there will be no messages at this stage until I can figure out where the second confirm message is coming from (that now no longer appears that I have commented out by code) -- odd
