#1437: warn user about losing unsaved changes

Comment (by anonymous):

I would vote for this too; even Firefox won't cache the fields if you are
running Trac on an SSL site. I just lost a large amount of work due to
accidently clicking on a link when trying to return foreground window
focus. Also it hasn't affected me yet, but #2618 bothers me even more.
At least #1437 can be solved by being a "perfect user", but even if you as
careful as you can be there's no way around #2618 except selecting all
text and copying it before submitting. Actually I've found myself doing
that on sites where I've typed a lot, so I guess I have to start doing it
with Trac now, too.

Comment:

You should also considering filing a Firefox bug (if one doesn't exist)
regarding warning before leaving an unsubmitted form. I use
[http://www.gnome.org/projects/epiphany/ Epiphany] which warns you before
closing a tab with unsubmitted changes, so to have Trac try to warn me
''again'' would get pretty annoying. Epiphany does not warn you if you
click on link without submitting the form, since your changes will still
be there if you hit "Back".

Comment (by mgood):

Well, I was hoping there might be a way to avoid the normal JavaScript
"confirm()"-style popup dialog and do something in HTML that would give
some nicer options. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be possible, since
the "onbeforeunload" event doesn't follow the normal event-handler
behavior of returning a boolean whether the event should continue.
Instead you return a string which is displayed in a "confirm()"-style
popup :(

I guess it is possible to check the browser used (so I don't get the
message on Epiphany), or add a cookie or session setting to enable this
behavior. However I think a better solution would be for browsers to
support this natively (Epiphany) or an extension that adds this for all
sites. Not that I'm proposing that we write one, but if we can document
some available solutions that may be sufficient.
