@Austin: You don't really need to catch that event from an alert since
execution is suspended until the user closes it. So you can just write that
code after the alert :)
@ezCandlesticks: Yes the returnValue property is very useful too.
Personally, i like it because you can use it with all kinds of events :)

Thanks,
Teo
