Our project uses trinidad components exclusively in our webapp with the exception of the tomahawk jscookmenu.
We've been trying to implement a javascript solution in our pages to notify the user if he/she attempts to perform an action when he/she currently has some data record in 'Edit Mode'. We used window.onbeforeunload to show the user a confirmation dialog conditionally based on a flag we set through another js function. This seemed to work whenever a trinidad component was used to initiate the action with the following steps occurring: 1. User enters edit mode 2. User clicks some other button 3. User sees edit mode confirmation dialog 4. User hits 'Cancel' 5. User resumes editing But we discovered that if the jscookmenu originated the action that things didn't' work as expected with the following happening: 1. User enters edit mode 2. User clicks the jscookmenu menu item 3. User sees edit mode confirmation dialog 4. User hits 'Cancel' 5. User resumes editing 6. User hits another button 7. User is navigated to jscookmenu menu item target I don't understand why Trinidad's javascript responds well to the onbeforeunload action but the jscookmenu does not. So I have a few questions, Is this a problem with jscookmenu and the Trinidad PPR interaction? Is there a better way to get the behavior we desire? If what we are doing makes sense, would the easiest solution be to just modify the jscookmenu javascript to get around this 'bug'?
