Affects: Safari on iPad
Web Developers have long used the onbeforeunload event to catch users leaving a form partially filled out and prevent them from losing their work. ;-)
On the down side, horribly shady sites have used it to try and keep users on a site with messages about free or cheap offers of electronics or porn if they stay on the site. :-(
It is a great tool when used correctly and thus it is rather unfortunate that Apple has left it off the iPad version of Safari... Users indicate that they have accidentally left a page trying to scroll the view to see better when the keyboard pops up.
Hopefully this will get fixed in a future patch to the OS.
Known Workarounds: None.
Related Issues: None.
