    Advice on how to prompt for saving edits

    I want to pick your collective brains on how to do something:

    I have a page that has about 10 fields for display/edit.

    If a user edits any of the data in any way, and trys to navigate away before saving I want a message to display saying "would you like to save your edits, yes (saves), no ignores.

    Is there an easy way to do this?

    For your body tag:
    onbeforeunload="RunBeforeUnload()"

    Then, make a function called RunBeforeUnload() that returns true if the page should navigate away or false if it should not.

    (Edit #VERSIONNUMBER# as needed - do a DIR if you don't know)

    Or instead of true/false you can force a postback to occur if that's your thing.
