I'm not sure this will work. First the Ajax call should be synchronous otherwise onbeforeunload will continue and unload the DOM/page. Second the returned ajax response is executed again in asynchronous way - using function chaining, and I think this will also "release the lock". Canceling the onbeforeunload event earlier (event.returnValue = false) and then using normal asych Ajax to show the modal will do it halfway - there is no way to continue to the original destination after the user say "Yes, close"
