[ZendTo] Re: RFE: Detect navigating away from page

[--[ UxBoD ]--]

Perhaps as an alternative idea, Jules. 

When a user clicks on the Dropoff Files button could it open up the upload Window in a separate browser screen akin. to a popup but using _self as the target. Potentially a cancel button could also be added to it. This has the possibility to lead to allowing multiple files to be uploaded or in fact multiple drop off sessions ? Sorry, just speaking out loud from what a client had asked whether was possible or not.

Thanks, Phil
