you would be able to do this with a client side ajax script that tracks what page they are visiting. This is how live chat apps work, which track users around your site and tell you what pages they are looking at and allow you to popup a chat prompt. their sessionID would be sent back and forth in the cookie along with the page they are on, so you just store that in their session. so you could have some code in onRequestStart that looks at their session, checks what page they are on currently, if it matches the page they are request, show your warning. You can also store a timestamp along with the pageID, which should tell you if they left the page already. If your ajax calls back every 10 seconds, and the timestamp says 30 seconds, you could assume they clsoed the page already.
