Is there any way to have some action performed when the browser close button is clicked?

I have a user request. Another system they use has a window pop up if the user clicks the browser close button that basically tells them they have unsaved changes, are they sure they want to close the browser window. If they are in an eform, is there anything in AgilePoint that will do this? It doesn't have to "know" they have unsaved changes, but just a "are you sure" dialog box pop up. I couldn't think of any way to do this. 

Thanks!

  Hi Gwen,

  You can try the below javascript to show a popup confirmation while closing the browser tab

  var popit = true;
       window.onbeforeunload = function() 
       { 
            if(popit == true) 
            {
                 popit = false;
                 return "Are you sure you want to leave?"; 
            }
       }
