Catching browser buttons

I was recently putting together an application. My test user did something I wasn't expecting. Rather than using the buttons within the application, he went for the browser buttons. It prompted me to provide a warning for the user that the application wouldn't work so well if he did this. See code below:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Test page</title>
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script>
google.load("jquery", "1");
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="index2.php">Go to page 2</a>
<script>
(function()
{
catchBrowser = true;

$('a').click(function()
{
catchBrowser = false;
});

$(window).bind('beforeunload', function()
{
if(catchBrowser == true)
{
return 'Please use only the buttons within the application pages.';
}
else
{
return;
}
});
})();
</script>
</body>
</html>

Nice CSS button

This demonstration relies upon css3pie in order to work in IE. You can get it at http://css3pie.com/
I have tried to use gradients and box shadow to a cool effect.
It seems like a lot of code for a button, but as it's a class, you can create many buttons on the same page with it.
Hope you like it.

See demo.

jQuery Radio Buttons

Happy New Year!
It took me about 20 minutes to work out how to use radio buttons with jQuery. The examples I found were a bit rubbish, so I thought I would share this code with you to save everyone the time.

See demo.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>jQuery Radio Buttons</title>
<style type="text/css">
html, body
{
font-family:Sans-serif;
}
</style>
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script>
google.load("jquery", "1");
google.load("jqueryui", "1");
</script>
<script>
$(function ()
{
$("input[name='radioTest']").change(
function()
{
if($(this).val()=='yes')
{
alert('Yes');
}
else
{
alert('No');
}
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
Try this radio button<br />
Yes<input name="radioTest" type="radio" value="yes">
No<input name="radioTest" type="radio" value="no">
</body>
</html>
