conditionally browser's confirm-exit pop-up alert when user leaves the page is not working in Non-IE browser
window.onbeforeunload is being used in userworkform HTML which conditionally displays the browser's confirm-exit pop-up on page navigation. This pop-up is displayed only when the page is closed (browser is exited) but not when the user clicks on the 'Continue' button to move to the next page of the application (this is accomplished by adding window.status to the button code in the application)
It works fine in IE but in FF/Chrome upon exit of the browser, the confirm message (pop-up) does not display and upon clicking the 'Continue' button, it displays a different alert message (this message is not our custom message but out-of-the-box firefox message). Attached is the screenshot.
window.onbeforeunload=confirmExit;
function confirmExit()
{
if(window.status==" ")
return;
return "Navigating away from this page may result in lost data and the inability to complete the current Account Opening or Update Ownership session.";
}

Hello,
I have tried the same code in the link at my end which is working. This code is working when we have atleast a click performed in our page.
var myEvent = window.attachEvent || window.addEventListener;
var chkevent = window.attachEvent ? 'onbeforeunload' : 'beforeunload'; /// make IE7, IE8 compitable
myEvent(chkevent, function(e) { // For >=IE7, Chrome, Firefox
var confirmationMessage = 'Are you sure to leave the page?';
(e || window.event).returnValue = confirmationMessage;
return confirmationMessage;
});
I hope you need to customize the above code as per your requirement.
Thanks,

Things are different when we use the windows platform but when we talk about the ios platform then there are compatibility issues associated with it. So you can visit https://babasupport.org/apple/iphone-error-4005/ to know more.
