Steps to reproduce:

Here is the code
<script language="JavaScript">
window.onbeforeunload=function(){return "You are attempting to leave this page."+"\n\n" + "If you have made changes and not saved them they will be lost!";};
</script>



Actual results:

The function returns a default text message ...

This page is asking you to confirm that you want to leave - data you have entered may not be saved.

It should return
"You are attempting to leave this page

f you have made changes and not saved them they will be lost!"

It seems Facebook shows a message properly on firefox. To reproduce go to your facebook page (if you have one) then type something on the status box. now try to navigate away from the page and it shows a custom message. Anyone know how they do this?
