JavaScript - How To Detect Browser Refresh Or Close?
In my application I want user to take an "Exit Survey"(Independent website) when he is leaving the application. As name explains, It should happen only when user closes current browser tab or browser window. Its possible using JavaScript OnUnload event. But the problem is that this event occurs on
1. close of browser tab 2. close of browser window 3. click of any internal page link(i.e anchors and form buttons) 4. click of browser's Refresh button 5. click of browser's Back/Forward button I have handled first 3 cases but not able to detect Refresh and Back/Forward button click. Has anybody of you implemented such functionality?? Thanks in advance!!! Similar TutorialsHello, I am trying to work on the following: You open the cart page and click the pay now button, that button opens a new window. I am trying to write (and I bet this is easy but I can't seem to get it) a script so that when it detects that window closing to automatically forward the main page to an account page. Is it something like: Code: <script type="text/javascript">
header(Location:"http://www.mysite.com");
if (window.opener.progressWindow)
{
window.opener.progressWindow.close()
}
window.close();
}
</script>
I am no programmer Hey guys, Been searching on google for two days now, without a valid answer. I'm NEW to javascript, so I need some good help on this haha. I am using the following little piece of code to open a popup window: Code: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JAVASCRIPT' TYPE='TEXT/JAVASCRIPT'>
<!--
var win=null;
function NewWindow(mypage,myname,w,h,pos,infocus){
if(pos=="random"){myleft=(screen.width)?Math.floor(Math.random()*(screen.width-w)):100;mytop=(screen.height)?Math.floor(Math.random()*((screen.height-h)-75)):100;}
if(pos=="center"){myleft=(screen.width)?(screen.width-w)/2:100;mytop=(screen.height)?(screen.height-h)/2:100;}
else if((pos!='center' && pos!="random") || pos==null){myleft=0;mytop=20}
settings="width=" + w + ",height=" + h + ",top=" + mytop + ",left=" + myleft + ",scrollbars=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=no";win=window.open(mypage,myname,settings);
win.focus();}
// -->
</script>
The actual link to open the popup is like this: Code: <a href="javascript:NewWindow('upload.php','popup','550','252','center','front');">Open the popup</a>
What I am opening is, an upload page to upload an image (PHP / AJAX). Once the upload is complete and I close the window, I need the parent window (the index page which the link to open the popup is on) to be refreshed, so you can see that the file has been successfully uploaded. Does anyone have a clue how I would fix this? If I need to use another code to open the popup, that's fine, I just need help on how to fix this, since I haven't been able to find the answer myself. Thanks in advance! hi, In my pop up window is a form, at the moment I am validation the formfield but I also would like to close the window and refresh the main window when the form is submitted?!

I am attempting to make an page on my website where visitors can set my website as their homepage. I am trying to make my website read which browser my visitors are using and then redirects them to the page for the right browser where I can tell them how they can set my website as their homepage. Basically I need exactly the same thing as THIS. Could you explain to me in plain English how I can realize this. This is what I know have: Code: <table width="759" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" >
<tr align="center">
<td width="378" height="28" align="right">Selecteer jouw browser </td>
<td width="16"></td>
<td width="365" align="left"><form id="browserSelection" name="browserSelection" action="customizeBrowser" method="GET"><select name="browser" size="1" id="browser" onchange="document.browserSelection.submit();"><option value="ff" selected>Firefox</option><option value="ie">Internet Explorer</option><option value="chrome">Chrome</option><option value="opera">Opera</option><option value="safari">Safari</option></select></form></td>
</tr>
</table>

Hi! I need to open a window when: 1 user leaves the site 2 when the browser is closed. I tried the 'unLoad' event but it works only for the user leaves site case and not the browser close.

I am writting a javascript that need to force the user to close the current browser and then restart automatically again after some operation. Here is the case : The user will retrieve a file from the server and save it in the local drive. After that, the browser will automatically open the .pdf saved with the browser(IE) but not Adode reader. If the user wants to update the previous saved .pdf in the local drive, they will need the user to close the opened file(saved .pdf) so that new updated .pdf can be replaced to the old .pdf file. So, I need to implement a function that force the browser to close, then copy and replace the old file, then reopen the file(new and updated) again. Is there any possible way of doing this ? Please provide me some idea. I have tried to look for informations online but I just got no luck. Failed with the coding provided. Thanks in advance. P/S : The file need to be closed in order to replace it with a new one. The platform using is Windows. Hi folks, I've got a chat program which relies on a column in a MySQL database to see if he/she has logged out or not. But if you close the browser window, the computer still thinks you're online. I wrote this in the JavaScript section cos I think it would definitely need Javascript. So any help for updating the database in any way? Thanks!! Lucas Hi Guys, I need to amend the below so that if any version of IE is detected it calls window.resizeTo(300,400); otherwise no event or a window.moveTo(0,0); event (either one). Firefox is having problems with resizeto THANKS! <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> if "any version of internet explorer" window.resizeTo(300,400); else window.moveTo(0,0); </SCRIPT> OR <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> if "any version of internet explorer" window.resizeTo(300,400); else "do nothing" </SCRIPT> Hi I am trying to trigger an event once the user clicks the browsers back/forward buttons, I have built a system just like facebook where if the user has javascript turned on they get the full feature of the site which includes fast switching for example if someone goes to this page "example.com/index.php" and click a link to contact.php it would change the url to "example.com/index.php#!/contact.php" but what I need to know is if there is any way to change the pages content when the user goes back and forth through the fast switch pages? something like "history.back !== -1" or something like that. If anyone can help please reply, thank you. Hi... Is there anyway to differentiate between refreshing a window and closing the browser. It seems both events are handled by onUnload event.
