How to create a 'Close page' message for unsaved web form data?

How can I generate a message "Do you really want to move away from this page? You have not saved your data changes" .

... when someone attempts to close a web form page via the Red-X button without submitting / saving thier data first?

I'd think that'd have to do with a more windows problem; like have CGI running in the background. However, if someone finds out, could you tell me as well? I could really use that...

Anyone know how to generate an alert if the page is being closed by the user, before saving data?

Code:

<html> 
<head> 
<script language=javascript> 

function confirmit() 
{ 
event.returnValue = "Are you sure ??"; 
} 

</script> 
</head> 

<body onbeforeunload="confirmit();"> 

hahhahahhahaa 

</body> 
</html>
