Are you sure you want to leave this page?

Periodically I start to get "Are you sure you want to leave this page?" message in OVM Manager 3.2.1 - if I click no, I get the message again. If I click yes, it logs me out... Often without any action from my side - or in the middle of my activities (so it doesn't look like it is related to any timeout).
I have disabled timeout in Tool and Resources - Preferences, so it is not suppose to log me out at all.
Any idea what is going on and how to fix it?
Thanks,
Alex

Very painful & I am also interested in a fix for this.
On 3.2.1 I am also getting this message though I only notice it when I am idle by not clicking on anything on the page.
On OVM 2.x I like to leave my screen open and it re queries the statuses. I like this UI more but the timeout or whatever is very annoying.
While I haven't been timed out right after recently doing something, when I launch jobs that take awhile I like that it shows me how much progress has made (cloned 101G of 500G etc)... Once you get timed out you lose the status and I don't see a way to get that dynamic job progress feedback anywhere without logging into the OVS and querying the file sizes as they progress on the file system.

"Are you sure you want to leave this page?" on saving Publishing Page

Hi all,
we're getting some ... interesting ... behavior in IE.
Setup:
We have a page layout based on some content type. Both contain (besides other fields) a DateTimeField which is shown in edit mode.
When a user clicks "Save" after editing the page, he is presented a modal dialog saying "Are you sure you want to leave this page?" with the options to "stay" or "leave".
When a user clicks "leave" the following behaviour is as expected (changes are saved, page is working). When a user clicks "stay" he sometimes gets prompted for conflicts.
As soon as the DateTimeField is removed from the page layout (but is kept in the content type) there are no more such pop-up dialogues.
This happens only in IE 9/10/11. FF and Chrome work fine.
Do you have any suggestions, on how to fix this? Not the conflicts part, but the fact that this dialogue box is shown at all.

I already tried seeting IE (Security) Settings back to deafault and disabling add-ons. It did not help.
The site is accessed via https and is in the Trusted Sites list in IE.

Hi SomeTallGuy,
According to your description, my understanding is that the model dialog appears after you click Save.
My suggestion as below:
1. Set the Internet Explorer Security Setting to low.
2. If you have add your site to trusted sites, try to delete all the browser data, such as cookie, temporary files to test whether it works.

How to prevent the "are you sure you want to leave this page?" prompt on Facebook?

I'm using Firefox 35.0.1. If I make a post on my Facebook timeline that contains a link, when I hit "Post" and the page goes to refresh to add my post to my timeline, it asks if I'm sure I want to leave the page. I've seen that messages on some sites before, for example, if I'm on a forum and I write a post and go to leave the page before hitting submit, it'll ask me that, but I've never seen it on Facebook until a couple of days ago.
Is there any way to turn this message off? Or even better, can it be turned off just on Facebook? Thanks.

Thanks, philipp! I guess Facebook must have made some changes to their code, but I'll make the change you suggested and see how it goes.

How to i get rid of the redirect notice it shows up on my safari whenever i try to go to a different page it says "the previous page is sending you to: LINK if you do not want to visit this page, you can return to the previous page"

How to i get rid of the redirect notice it shows up on my safari whenever i try to go to a different page

Yeah, this seems to be something to do with Google, not your iPhone. A search on that error found this page:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Web%20Search/thread?tid=56a3c4b71b3dc1d9&h l=en
which shows people using lots of browsers on different platforms suffering from it. No definitive solutions though.

How to add for wikipages the popup " are you sure you want to leave this page" on edit

Our users complain about hitting the backspace button in a wiki page, sometimes the I.E. goes back and loose their changes. I could get a jquery popup but I don't know how to know that the wiki page is in edit mode and not in view mode.Do you know how/what
to check with javascript in order to know the mode of the page?
Thank you
Christos

Jquery has a specific function that allows you to add this sort of thing to general SharePoint pages. I've not tried it in my own environment but some good useful starter information can be seen on a similar thread at Stack exchange.
See if this is of any use for you

How to fix error message: Are you sure you want to leave this page? There is currently a request to the server pending. You may lose recent changes by navigating away.

I have been gettting this error message in safari for 4 days.
Any ideas? This is beyond frustrating. I haven't installed or downloaded anything in this time.
Thanks!

Unless you have an application open like Microsoft Word and have made changes to some work you have done go up to file and SAVE then you can leave the page wwithout any problems. this message comes mostely when you are in a browser. Just leave the page.

AJAX Call make SP to show the "Are you sure you want to leave this page" dialog box

Hi all,
I have a problem while editing properties of a Page. We have a custom Content Types which includes a field with a custom type (and custom control). The Custom control includes an UpdatePanel. The control is a tree view, so each time we expand a node, there
is an AJAX call.
The control is displayed on the page on Edit Mode. When we use the control from Edit Mode, expanding each node result in displaying the dialog box to ask the user if he wants to leave or stay on the page.
When using the same control from the "Edit Properties" form, expending the nods works perfectly.
Also I couldn't reproduce the problem on FireFox, it only happens on IE.
Using fiddler I could see a difference between the Post requests depending on the above scenarios.
When using the custom Tree View from the Edit Page mode which result into the error, the POST request does not include the
x-microsoftajax: Delta=true
in the request header.
When using FF or the Tree View from the Edit Properties window, the above header is present and the dialog box is not shown.
Does anyone have an idea why I'm not having the the correct header with IE when using the control from Edit Mode?
Cheers,
Séb

Hi,
According to your post, an error occurred when you used Ajax in SharePoint.
Please do as follows:
1. Try to uncheck the Enable native XMLHTTP support option in IE's advanced options.
Go to Tool->Internet Options->Advanced and disable “Enable native XMLHTTP support”.
2. Use jQuery Ajax to call.

All of a sudden I am getting a pop up message that says, "do you want to leave this page or stay".

I have FF 28 and have for a long time, so that is not the problem. It is my default browser. I also have IE 10, W 7 and Avast. This problem just started a couple of weeks ago. Nothing on my pc has changed. I am trying to load an image, but it not working.

It is only happening on one site, but I have friends that it is happening to and they don't visit this site.
Would someone please tell me the danger of using an older version of Firefox. Is it going to blow up in my face, take all of my savings from the bank, What is the danger. I don't have anything personal on my PC, I even use an alias.
I like Firefox because of the apps like WOT, adblock plus, no squint, duckduckgo, Ghostery and being able to select colors for the toolbar that makes it easy to read.
The reason I don't want to upgrade: Let me count the reasons. The main reason is they try to force me to use their new versions. '''They upgrade my FF versions even though I have it set to never. ''' Because they fixed the tool bar so I can't condense it down to one line. and I know there is software that can fix that. When developers add new options why can't they leave the older options.
Also don't put me in the class of not trying new things. I bought my first PC in 1996 and replaced it every time a new OS came out because I wanted to learn it. I kept doing that until W 8 came out. I even bought a laptop so I could see what all the fuss was about. I did see.

Avoid "leave this page" prompt

Is there an IE setting that can be turned on/off to avoid the "Do you want to leave this page" prompt in HTML5? A colleague of mine is receiving it when he flips between attachments and logs off. I only receive it when I log off.

Hi Angela,
This issue also observed in one customer message & I have addressed the same to development for correction.
If you find the list of expenses which cannot be accommodated in same page.
Now make some changes in any expense (DO NOT SAVE) & move to next page from next button.
You will get the message 'Are you sure you want to leave the page?' with two options
1. Stay on this Page
2. Leave this page.
This is not correct message as UI should not intend the user to leave the page.
I will update this post as soon as I have this information.

If javascript can no longer be disabled - how do I leave a website that asks the "are you sure you want to leave this site" pop up question without a yes choice

Given that the turn off javascript option will be disabled - how do I close a page that does not allow me to leave by giving a "are you sure you want to leave" pop up question but then redirects to itself where it again asks that question perpetually?
The only way to kill a page like that sofar was to disable javascript and then close the tab.
Now I will have to close the browser - and possibly loose all the tabs I have open.
I want a javascript quick switch - allowing me to easily disable javascript for any page at will.
(esp for some of my older, slower netbooks)
Or at least a "FORCE CLOSE" option for malicious webpages.

Hi ronc2, there isn't a specific setting for this. Firefox's built-in JavaScript settings allow you to control several aspects of scripts*, but unfortunately not this one.
I previously tried to find some other options for individually turning off this event, but I couldn't find a way. Someone might be able to create an add-on to solve this problem, but it will take someone cleverer than I.
Extensions that disable scripts on a site-specific basis:
* If you regularly visit some sites which do this, you can block JavaScript on that specific site using the YesScript extension. Unfortunately, other script-based functionality will be blocked as well.
* YesScript does not preemptively block scripts on every site. If you have to visit a lot of random sites and want to take a paranoid approach of having scripting blocked until you see as much of the site as you can see without running scripts, then the NoScript extension would be for you. But even then it's "all or nothing".
''* These include: JavaScript enabled yes/no, override right-click menu yes/no, change order of windows yes/no, move and resize windows yes/no, close windows yes/no, specific features of pop-up windows, change images yes/no, detect copy/cut/paste and modify selection yes/no.''

Can I prevent the "Are you sure you want to leave this form" message

Is it possible to suppress the "Are you sure you want to leave this form" if there are no changes?

I would have to say it's a bug in Safari 3.x, as it apparently worked in Safari 2.x. I'm sure a bug report has already been filed on this, but if you want to give feedback to Apple about it and encourage them to fix it sooner rather than later, use this Feedback link.

When ever I leave a site a drop down box appears " Are you sure you want to send form again?" " To re-open this page Safari must resend a form, this may sesult in duplicate purchases, comments, or other actions". It does it twice every time? *** is this?

When ever I leave a internet site an Apple drop down box appears that says,
" Are you sure you want to send form again?", " To Re-open this page Safari must resend a form. "This action might result in duplicate purchases, comments, or other actions".
The box has two options,... "Send", or " Don't send",...
I always hit the don't send button.
It always drops down twice now when it used to only drop down once.
*** is going on with that?

I am on a website that has phpbb installed and when I do a search for new posts it shows them to me.
When I click on a post that I wish to read it shows me that post but if I hit back the server is set up to not allow multiple searches within a short time and the page returns "you cannot submit another search in such a short time".
If I understand what you're describing, that's a function of the phpbb forum, not something Safari is doing or can change.
A suggestion: Instead of just clicking on the posts you want to read, I would Command-click to open them in new tabs. Your page of search results will remain open in the first tab, so when you're finished reading the posts, you can close their tabs and return to your list of search results.

HOW DO I GET RID OF THIS MESSAGE, PLEASE???Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page.

Creating an email inside DPS without the prompt "Are you sure you want to leave..."?

In my search to insert a button that creates an email, I found this spectacularly helpful article by jlockman
Sending email and email attachments from DPS publications
Using his code as a template, I was able to do exactly what I wanted. Now my article contains a web overlay button that creates an email filled with everything we wanted (to:, subject:, body...) Now we are wondering: Can we disable the prompt that comes up? "Are you sure you want to leave this application to send an email?"
Thanks!

Unfortunately, Erin, the OS will always warn you when an app attempts to direct you somewhere outside of the app. This is a security measure so that apps can't hijack or spoof you.

How do I stop "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page." from comeing up. It is new. Just started doing it yesterday morning.

I have used FireFox to play the Game Kingdoms Of Camelot, a facebook game. I also have Grease Monkey and a 3rd party add on. I leave it running 24/7 to gather food in the game for my army. It has run smoothly for 6 mo. Yesterday 2/04/11 in the morning it started asking for conformation when the page refreshed. i want to know how to stop this Box from comeing up it will not continue without refreshing and will not refresh untill th question is answered. It says "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page."

You're not going to stop it, and out here, what's illegal?
What it boils down to is a matter of ethics, and it's wrong. But the web
techies build this feature into their sites because they know somebody
is going to fly in off an engine like Google or MSN. And take something,
like a picture. Without stopping in and signing up or something else.
But what if I or you is out collecting stamps or avatars or wallpapers,
and have already taken a quiz, or signed up for a product? I've already
done that...but the site developers who use this ingenious(hijacking)
software don't see it that way, and don't care if you just got a computer
and want to pick up something here or there. Those sites don't get
anything when you visit and don't leave your number. I don't what
these 19 tracking cookies are for, do you?
