This is the simple function that I expected would work: window.onload = function() { if(!confirm("Cancel the file transfer in progress?")) {return false} } But it lets them leave either way. I looked toward gMail's code for a guidance or a clue but found nothing that made sense to me. A solution would have to avoid leaving the page even for a moment or file transfers will be interrupted.
