Sure. There are tons of examples online. Where are you stuck?

$(window).on('beforeunload', function () {

return 'Are you sure want to quit the application?.';
});

it is showing a confirmation box , but the header is 'Javascript Confirm'
instead of this i need custom box.

Then call a custom box inside the beforeunload function.

In addition to Solution 1:

You can also find plenty of 3rd-party jQuery UI plug-ins collectively known as "modal popup", with different visual effects, such as transitions, and, notably, dimming of the rest of the screen: http://bit.ly/1DpajUJ.

The benefit of such solution is not just visual effects. This light-weight approach is always better for the user. JavaScript embedded alert and confirmation dialogs create a new window, which is inconvenient, not flexible, looks ugly.

If you need to learn jQuery (highly recommended), please see:

http://jquery.com,

http://learn.jquery.com/about-jquery/how-jquery-works (start from here).

Remember that jQuery is designed with compatibility in mind.
