Hi All,

I know it might be top secret information, but i have been searching for a similar script to the one you use which identifies a change to a form and gives the user the chance to save, discard or stay on page.

Would it be possible to get a little info on how that is done. I have seen some with Javascript, but they are really naff.

Any help would be appreicated.

Cheers,
Patrick in London

This dialog was removed from the gsoc branch because to was slow to load and was replaced with a Javascript confirm() dialog which simply says:

Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?
WARNING: Your changes have not been saved.
Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page.

From what I understand, the form change detection is accomplished by serializing the form contents and then before the page is unloaded, the current values of the form are compared to the serialized values.

Hope this helps,

Elijah
