Run JavaScript code on window close or page refresh?
browser, javascript
Solution
Ok, I found a working solution for this, it consists of using the `beforeunload` event and then making the handler return `null`. This executes the wanted code without a confirmation box popping-up. It goes something like this:
window.onbeforeunload = closingCode;
function closingCode(){
// do something...
return null;
}
Problem
Is there a way to run a final JavaScript code when a user closes a browser window or refreshes the page? I'm thinking of something similar to onload but more like onclose? Thanks. I don't like the onbeforeunload method, which always yields to a confirmation box popping up (leave page/ stay on mozilla) or (reload/ don't reload on chrome). Is there a way to execute the code quietly?
