window.onbeforeunload on IE 7

I was tried to track when a user is just going to away from a web page by using JavaScript. That was pretty possible with the window.onbeforeunload it worked fine. But fine until my project QA team found that it does not work with Internet Explorer 7. window.onbeforeunload is working with the Firefox and IE 6 but it does not work with IE 7 (in the same manner with other browsers). So I was able to find a solution for that. var goodExit = false; window.onbeforeunload = confirmExit; function = confirmExit() { if(your any condition) { goodExit = true; //then that confirmation will not be asked } if(!goodExit) { return 'Are you sure to navigate away ?'; //this will display on confirmation } } //there should not any returns on the function confirmExit. You can make the goodExit true when the page is doing submit or any other that we do not need a confirmation.And also do not assign true or false to window.onbeforeunload. Because it may lead to a ...

I've got a mail which says to make your attitude a better one and this may help you very much on your career. I was really busy on past days with my tight scheduled project so I was unable to post anything for about 2 months. Anyway if there is a will there is a way!!! All of us want to be useful to others in some way. We want to feel needed, competent — like we're making a difference, in some small way. Some people, though, are insanely useful. They are the go-to people whenever someone needs help. They're the people that make us feel useful because we know them — when someone needs something done, we can say "Oh, I know just the person!"
