    <p>So, making an web portal for work. Boss wants me to log the user out if they navigate away from the page. Found this tutorial: <a href="http://kbeezie.com/cross-browser-exit-pop/" rel="nofollow">http://kbeezie.com/cross-browser-exit-pop/</a></p> <p>I used the jquery example and inserted it into a couple pages to test it out. I'm using asp.net/C# for development. Here's the basic layout of the page, including my script:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%@ Page ... %&gt; &lt;asp:Content .. &gt; &lt;/asp:Content&gt; &lt;asp:Content .. &gt; //my navigate away function &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; function PopIt() { return "Are you sure you want to leave?"; } $(document).ready(function () { window.onbeforeunload = PopIt; $("a").click(function () { window.onbeforeunload = null; }); }); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;table&gt;&lt;/table&gt; //other stuff &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/asp:Content&gt; </code></pre> <p>When I click a link on our web portal, the navigate away script works, it doesn't pop up because we're clicking on an internal link. But, if I keep navigating around on the site, after 2 or 3 clicks eventually if I click on an internal link it will ask me if I'm sure I want to leave. Can anyone tell me why this is happening?</p> <p>Edit: We have jquery referenced on every page, so this is not the issue.</p> <p>Edit: Here's a <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/rVUbP/1/" rel="nofollow">JSFiddle</a> that works. When you click on the link nothing happens but when you navigate away it prompts.</p>

    1. COI'm not sure why you're getting the issue you describe, but I don't see how that code will react to you leaving the portal. It will make *every* link remove the `onbeforeunload` handler, whether local or not.

    2. COWe don't have any links on our page that go to an external website, that's why this solution works for us because it catches everything (going to Google, closing the browser, etc.)

    3. COAre the links that trigger the unload to eventually happen when it is not suppose to, links that are rendered in a master page content, or a different page rendering?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
