Code should still be executed, including one "Are you sure you want to leave this page?" prompt. It's just additional alert/confirm/prompts that are ignored.


<script>window.onbeforeunload=function (e) { e.returnValue = '?'; }</script>
<body onunload="alert('onunload');" onpagehide="alert('onpagehide');">
close me
</body>
