Yaron,
While popup warning works well in Firefore, it doesnot work for IE7.
I made a Google search and got a workaround.
$confirm_script =<<<END
// ask the user to confirm before leaving the page - due to
// Javascript strangeness, the question itself is hardcoded in
// English and can't be changed
function confirm_text(evt) {
// show this confirmation message only if the user didn't
// click on a form element
//if (evt.target.className != "createbox") {
//return "Changes to the form will not be saved.";
//}
var message = 'Changes to the form will not be saved?';
if (typeof evt == 'undefined') {
evt = window.event;
}
if (evt) {
evt.returnValue = message;
}
return message;
}
window.onbeforeunload = confirm_text;
END;

I tested this code and it works for both browsers. Hope helpful.

Subject: [Semantic Forms] Version 1.3.1 - "default=current user", popup warning
for leaving a form, etc.
Hi all,
Version 1.3.1 of Semantic Forms has been released. Additions and changes in
this version include:
- a field can now be set to hold the current user's username by default,
through the new 'default=current user' value.
- forms can now be set to warn the user with a popup message if they try to
leave without saving the page. By default this is turned off, but it can be
turned on using the new "$sfgConfirmFormExit" flag. Due to some Javascript
strangeness, the text in the popup is hardcoded - it reads "Are you sure you
want to navigate away...", etc. in English, regardless of the language of the
user. This is a problem, and I don't know a way around it, which is part of the
reason it's off by default.
- there were various fixes to the new template-call parsing code - these
were added in subsequent releases of version 1.3, but if you got
version 1.3 before they went in, they're new. :)
- alternate forms for properties, which weren't working since version 1.2.9,
are now working again.
- red links are now working for MediaWiki 1.14 - I added a hook into the
MediaWiki code, that went into version 1.13, that eliminated the need for the
code patch to get red links to point to forms. However, about a month ago this
hook was removed, as part of a general restructuring of the code (bringing my
contributions to MediaWiki itself back to zero). It was replaced with some
other hooks, and SF now uses those as well if they're available.
- the Javascript for date validation was improved, so that date fields can be
set to "mandatory".
- the Javascript in the special upload window was improved to be able to work
with MediaWiki 1.14.
- the Javascript was also modified, using code from Tal Shahar, to try to
improve the ability to have an uploadable field in a multiple-instance template
- this still doesn't work fully, but hopefully somehow we can figure out a way
to get around the remaining problems.
- the version used of the YUI Javascript library was updated from 2.5.1. to
2.5.2.
- the 'CreateTemplate' page can now create a template with no fields - this
wasn't working before.
- also, some of the class structure for SF_CreateTemplate.php was improved.
- the 'size' parameter for fields that corresponded to a list of values was
ignored before, with the size always getting set to 100. This has been fixed.
- language support was added for Egyptian Arabic (yes, apparently it's slightly
different from regular Arabic - this was a big topic of discussion at
Wikimania).
