Browser back button detection

From the link below, browser back button detection works perfectly:

If you just want to popup a confirmation window before user leaves current page (e.g. click 'Back/Previous' button, close window), use following code (NOT tested in old browsers, e.g. IE6):

<script type="text/javascript">
    window.onbeforeunload = onbeforeunload_handler;
       
    function onbeforeunload_handler() {
        return "The TEXT in the popup window.";
    }  
</script>

Unfortunately, the texts on buttons on the popup window cannot be configured as it's different from Browser to Browser.
