Controlling the Window Object with vbScript -

I am using the following code snippet to confirm the user wants to close the browser window:

<HEAD><TITLE>A Simple Document></TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="vbScript">
Sub unload()
window.event.returnValue = "Do you really want to quit?"
End Sub
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<body onbeforeunload="unload()">

The code displays a message box upon closing the browser window. It works fine, however, the message box also displays when moving between links within the site. I only want it to display the message box when the user closes the browser window. Also the message box displays three lines of information for the user. I have listed the lines below:

1) The first line says: "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?"

2) The second line that's displayed is the message I pass to window.event.returnvalue in the unload subroutine above: "Do you really want to quit?"

3) And the third line says" "Press OK to continue or Cancel to stay on the current page."

So my question is how do I display this confirmation only when the browser window is closing and prevent the message box from displaying when the user is just navigating through links on my site. And how do I alter the text that's displayed on lines 1 and 3 of the message box. I would like to give the user a more specific message, and these lines seem to be hidden behind the window.event
