how to get onunload event on IE .

Question

Hi i need to catch an onUnload event but its working in firefox not in IE . Can we capture onUnload event in IE?

Answer 1

You could try the onbeforeunload event.

Answer 2

Could be that an installed plugin is disabling any unload handlers (see this blog post). If that's the case you could remove the plugin or switch to use onbeforeunload.

Answer 3

There is two events in IE you can use. Click the event-name to see the MSDN details.

• onunload
• onbeforeunload

Answer 4

<script type="text/javascript">

       function unloadPage(){
           return "dont leave me this way";
       }

       window.onbeforeunload = unloadPage;

</script>
