Robert,
Nice and clean, I assume that you pair this function up with an ===>
onClick="check_exit('http://www.google.com');" type statement within
the "<a href" statement correct?

Use a JS conditional alert, called confirm()

function check_exit(url){
input_box=confirm("You have made changes to the form, are you sure
you want to exit this page? Click continue to exit to your link, or
cancel to finish the form.");
if (input_box==true){
// Output when OK is clicked
self.location=url;
} else {
// Output when Cancel is clicked or just do nothing.
}

The only I didn't do here, is the part where you check if the form
is changed. You can do that by setting a global variable that is
changed to true when any field changes.

Hi all,
My question regards the best way to control the exit from a form
that contains both <input>s and links.
I would like to be able to warn the user, when he activates a
link, that changes were made and the submit button has not been
clicked so that he can take the appropriate decision.
I have 2 solutions to this issue:
1- make links to act like submit; but this implicitly saves info
that he might not want to;
2- use a JavaScript variable that memorizes any change in <input>s
and can be evaluated when the user clicks a link; this means that
every entry has to be wired-up for the event.
I can live with (2), but I thought maybe there is a better/simpler
solution, a global "this page has been modified" attribute that
can be checked before switching context and I do not have to wire
every input.
Any thoughts on this subject would be highly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Mike B.
