Alert user when navigating away from page 1

[SurvivorTiger]

Hi everyone,

I have a page where users can modify certain data and upon clicking "Submit", the data will get saved. But if they click on any other links on the page, they will lose their changes made to the data. So i want a message box to pop up and say something like "are you sure you want to exit without saving your data" with a "Yes/No" or "Ok/Cancel" button. if the user clicks No or Cancel they'll remain on that page, otherwise they lose their data and will be taken to another page. So, can someone please tell me how to do this?

Thanks

I wrote an FAQ (in the FAQ section - link near the top of the page) on how to do this:

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!
