Q: 

Capturing URLs within the beforeunload event

When a user navigates away from my page the onBeforeUnload event triggers a confirmation box to be displayed to the user. At this point is there a method by which I can capture the URL that the user is navigating to?

+2  A: 

No. That could potentially give info away to an unauthorized party.

Ditto AnthonyWJones. The language has been limited in this regard intentionally for security/privacy reasons.
