asp_web_howto thread: Save data on exit

Hello,
We need to write a program on the web (with ASP) for a company. The
people must login at the website and then fill in some forms. Now they
ask us if it's possible to save the data automatically. For example, if
they fill in the form and close the window or "click" on "back" in their
browser without saving the information, that they receive a message who
says that they haven't yet saved the data.
Is is also possible to do this directly? For example, they close their
browser and then they get a message "You haven't saved your data. Please
save it now" and a "OK"-button. Is it possible that when they click on
the button "ok" that the data is automatically saved? Or not ?
Has anyone any suggestion ?
Best regards
Bart

I have not tried but it is a sugestion:
Put a function on unload that saves the form(client side).
<SCRIPT ID=clientEventHandlersJS LANGUAGE=javascript>
<!--
function window_onunload() {
//here do the form submit...
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY LANGUAGE=javascript onunload="return window_onunload()">
Now this should work if only if they do not close the window...but for
changing the page without saving it should.
Hope it helps.
