OnUnload event

[sekhar_jaji]

Onunload event fires when the browser is unloaded. But this means it is fired even when the user is redirected from the page (either through submit or through a link) or when the user refreshes the page.

Is there anyway to detect that the user actually clicked on 'Close' icon on the browser?

You need to unset the event as soon as someone clicks a link or a submit, that way it will only fire when the browser is closed.

thanks for the reply.

first issue with that approach is even when the user refreshes the page, the popup appears. (because we dont have control to remove the event)

second one is we have to call javascript functions to unset the event for each and every link or buttons which is tedious.

There must be an easy way to do this.

Perhaps you may wish to explain why you wish to capture this event, and we can suggest a way around it which will work.
