Remarks

When a string is assigned to the IHTMLDialog::returnValue property of window.event, a dialog box appears that gives users the option to stay on the current document and retain the string that was assigned to it. The default statement that appears in the dialog box, "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? ... Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page.", cannot be removed or altered.

onbeforeunload in Windows apps using JavaScript

In Windows apps using JavaScript, the onbeforeunload event fires before the top-level page in navigated. The IHTMLDialog::returnValue property of window.event is always ignored and onunload will fire immediately. No dialog is shown to the user and the navigation can't be cancelled. Note that, in most cases, the app should never navigate its top-level document. Windows apps using JavaScript should use oncheckpoint event to determine when they need to save state information.
