This doesn't make sense if the user is closing the page. They are not
navigating away.
Yes, but they certainly are leaving, and text like:
You have unsaved changes. Leaving this web page without saving....
should work just find without giving away the user's private
information, seems to me.
Also it would be helpful if there were an dialog box with 3 buttons
(YES/NO/CANCEL) rather than just (OK/CANCEL)
Yes, agreed.
Perhaps a confirm2() could be added, someone would
have to work with ECMA since they manage the javascript standard.
confirm() isn't part of JavaScript. It's part of DOM0 (like everything
else dealing with the Window object), and hence managed by this working
group at the moment.
