I have a function that is suppose to trigger when user closes their browser and I have put the code in the "window.onbeforeunload" function. The thing is every time if I reloads the page in Internet Explorer, the onbeforeunload event will also trigger which is a problem because I only wants it to trigger only when the user closes or na...
I have a strange issue from a client in that our code, which they include uses onbeforeunload() to trigger a dialog, but they are also including another companies code which also binds this event handler. Is it possible for both to execute at the same time? I've been reading this, http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596101992 "JavaScript: ...
Hi all, Having not any answers to my previous questions about using javascript to measure page turn times, I'm going to start writing my own code (!). To measure the length of tie it takes, I'm proposing dropping a cookie containing a timestamp when the user browses away from a page, then in a subsequent page, comparing that time with ...
I'm using a the confirmit java script function to redirect to a new url with a positive response. It doesn't do exactly what I want - and maybe I can't have exactly what I want. Here's what it does - onunload, with a positive response it opens the new url in a new window, which can be blocked by a pop-up blocker without the user even k...

At that case if I click the cancel button of the confirmation box, in IE it gives Unspecified error. Can anybody help me, how can I avoid ...

Alright, I have an issue with the following code. What happens is when a user closes their browser, it should prompt them to either click OK or click CANCEL to leave the page. Clicking OK would trigger a window.location to redirect to another page for user tracking (and yes, to avoid flame wars, there is a secondary system in place to as...
I want to control how easily people can leave my app. Now, I know I can't do it completely; that's what cron jobs are for. But I'd like to catch as many cases as possible. I thought, I could use onBeforeUnload to display the dialog box, warning them about leaving and asking them to please click the Quit button instead. But then I found...
If you set an unbeforeunload event inside an iframe, this is not triggered when you for instance click through to a link in the iframe. It works in IE and Firefox (not Opera, but Opera does not support onbeforeunload in general AFAIK). Just wondering, am I doing something wrong? Should this behaviour not be possible? Or is it a bug in ...
Does anyone know if the onbeforeunload event is supported on the iPad and/or if there's a different way to use it? I've tried pretty much everything, and it seems like the onbeforeunload event is never triggered on the iPad (Safari browser). Specifically, this is what I've tried: window.onbeforeunload = function(event) { event.return...
Yes, I realize this is horrible UI and bad accessibility wise, but I am forced to seek out the options due to contracted work ( to which I didn't initially agree upon and am stuck with ). I know that you can assign an event handler to onbeforeunload like: window.onbeforeunload = function() { return 'You have unsaved changes!'; } ...
Hello Folks, What I want to do: dispose of a session upon detecting an "OnBeforeUnload" event in the client. I know it doesn't fire 100% of times (90% accuracy works fine for me) Here I saw how to do it with ajax, this system, however, breaks down with ajax: I can't use it at all. I'm searching for ways of doing it ...
I have a FormView with some basic Cancel/Update/Insert/Edit ImageButtons, and I have a ListView inside the FormView. I need to warn the user whenever he inserts new items in the ListView and doesn't save the changes. So I have a flag (an hidden input) that I fill with "1" whenever I add/remove a new item in the ListView, I have a handl...
Hi folks, if a GET request is made as follows $(window).bind('beforeunload', function() { // GET request }); and the page is abandoned before the GET request is completed, will the destination server still process the request? Or will it somehow vanish? I would like to send a server data on "beforeunload" firing, but without ...
Hi, I have a form broken into 5 steps. Currently if you refresh/exit/close etc on steps 2-4 it returns a message via window.onbeforeunload no issues there. window.onbeforeunload = function () { if ( $("#step1").is(":visible") || $("#step2").is(":visible") || $("#step3").is(":visible") ) { return 'Using the br...
Hi, Is it possible to figure out just wich type of event triggered $(window).unload();? To be a bit more specific, I'm only interested in the event when a user has closed the window (a popup), not when he's just navigating away from the current page. I've looked into the event parameter passed to the callback of unload(); but there doe...
I have a web form on my web page. Before the user leaves the page, I want a javascript popup message asking the user if they have completed the form with a "Yes" or "No" button on it. If the user clicks "Yes", then they are brought to the page they intended to go to. However, if the user clicks "No", then the user remains on this page. ...
