keep your code and, use jquery to handle links.

Answer 2

+6 A:

Another implementation is the following you can find it in this webpage: http://amazing-development.com/archives/2008/11/25/javascript-close-hook-for-browser-window/

<html>
  <head>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      var hook = true;
      window.onbeforeunload = function() {
        if (hook) {
          return "Did you save your stuff?"
        }
      }
      function unhook() {
        hook=false;
      }
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <!-- this will ask for confirmation: -->
    <a href="http://google.com"&gt;external link</a>

    <!-- this will go without asking: -->
    <a href="anotherPage.html" onClick="unhook()">internal link, un-hooked</a>
  </body>
</html>

What it does is you use a variable as a flag.
