I'm trying to trap navigation off of a web page so that the user is presented with a warning dialog before allowing the departure event to continue. Specifically, I need to trap the forward button, the back button, and clicking on a link, but I don't want to trap closing the browser or a tab.
I know how to use window.onbeforeunload() to do what I want, with the exception that this also nags the user on browser and tab closing events, and I'd like to fix this misfeature. Any ideas would be muchly appreciated. Thanks, |>oug P.S. Yes, I know that trapping navigation is annoying to the user, but I haven't yet implemented persistence of the page state, so I'm sure this work-around will be less annoying to them than it would be for them to lose their work without warning.
