Returning to original page after alert box "OK"

[Guest_imported]

When the user tries to exit the chat room I have an alert box which pops up and says please logoff properly. How would I make it so that when the user presses ok on that box, it returns to the original page?

Have you tried using history?
You know : window.history.back()

What happens instead anyway? If you add the alert before anything else happens then won't that leave the page how it is?

We need a bit more info, thanks, Ben. "Alright whatever man, I'll hook up the hair, but I aint touchin the ring though...Cause I'm still a pla--yer"

you might want to check out webrefrence's article on the onbeforeunload event handler:

it only works for ie, but I am pretty sure that they have workarounds for netscape.
