how to detect a dirty xPage

I have a requirement to stop a user from leaving an xPage with unsaved changes, and give them the option to go back and save their changes.  I have the enableModifiedFlag turned on, which works if they try to close the browser tab or the browser itself, but doesn't work anywhere else.  I've also tried this solution: https://innerringsolutions.wordpress.com/2012/08/31/dealing-with-those-dirty-xpages/

But that doesn't work either.  Does anyone have a good solution to this problem???

Thanks in advance!

this works on a button, still need a solution for closing the tab

Ok, this works in a button:

if (XSP._isDirty()){

  if (confirm ("Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?")){

    XSP._setDirty(false,"");

    return true

  }else{

    return false;

  }

I still need a good solution for closing the tab or the browser.  enableModifiedFlag will prompt the user, but it will not use the message I enter!
