In my onbeforeunload event, it asked the user whether they want to leave the page or stay on it. When they click "stay on page", I want it to then redirect them to another webpage in the same window. It sounds weird, but that's what I've been assigned to do. Basically, the main page plays a video - I think advertising to buy something, and when they close but then decide to stay on the page, we want the video to go away/stop playing and some different information to appear (a different "webpage"). Is there a way to do this, without just showing/hiding divs? Can I override the function? I'm currently trying to do it this way(as seen below) but now the dialog box is not showing up at all. It was working before Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong, or how to accomplish this task?

A dirty trick is a setTimeout, and see whether it still runs: http://jsfiddle.net/FJ4LR/1/.
window.onbeforeunload = function() {
setTimeout(function() {
alert('You clicked stay.');
}, 500);
return 'Really?';
};
