Javascript unload page condition

Question

I am using the following code to prompt the user that if he left the page he can't come back. Things happened that i want to redirect the page using setTimeout function after a specific time. I want to disable checking for user leaving the page when the automatic redirection starts.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> needToConfirm = true; window.onbeforeunload = askConfirm; function askConfirm(){ if (needToConfirm){ return "Please note that you might not be able to come back and watch the movie again."; } } </script>

The language attribute of the script element is deprecated. — Marcel Korpel

Unset onbeforeunload in the function called by setTimeout before you redirect the user:

window.onbeforeunload = null;
