I need to through alert message like "Are you want to navigate?" when user will modify some data but did not save that and trying to navigate to the other tab.
I want yes or No functionality on clicking on other tab. Not leave this page or stay on this.
Kinldy help me. Thanks In advanced.
function goodbye(e) {
if (!e) e = window.event;
//e.cancelBubble is supported by IE - this will kill the bubbling process.
e.cancelBubble = true;
e.returnValue = 'You sure you want to leave?'; //This is displayed on the dialog
//e.stopPropagation works in Firefox.
if (e.stopPropagation) {
e.stopPropagation();
e.preventDefault();
}
}
window.onbeforeunload = goodbye;
I have used this but it is not showing yes/no.and in same page some buttons are there. After clicking this page is refreshing and this message is coming. can some one plz help me.
You may use beforeunload event.
Your handler should return a string, which will be displayed to a user.
The simplest usage example:
window.onbeforeunload = function() {
return "Do you want to navigate away?";
};
If you have any other questions, refer to the documentation.
If you just want to display some info, then window.alert(Info) could be useful. Since you need to take opinion from user, you can use window.confirm(your Question)
confirm("Do you want to leave this page?");
Confirm is similar to an alert box that popups up.But it has a difference,it gives the user two options: 'Ok' and 'cancel'.
If the user clicks 'ok' button,the window will unload and the user will navigate from the page successfully.
Confirm is often used for verfication and confirmation as the name suggests.
<html>
<body>
<p>Click the button to demonstrate line-breaks in an alert box.</p>
<button onclick="myFunction()">click it</button>
<script>
function myFunction() {
alert("Do you want to navigate away ?");
}
</script>
</body>
</html>

I have used two js files
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/areyousure/areyousure.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/areyousure/ays-beforeunload-shim.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("form").areYouSure();
});
</script>
The above is working only if any of the form input is changed.. I have a dual list box in my page. If I select one of the text and press back button the alert is not working.
Is there any solution for this ?
I have already used onbeforeunload. It did not work. There are some issues with it. Is there any other solution to solve this problem?
The back button is working only if there is change in form. If I have pop ups and pickers it's not working.
You're talking about the browser's back button I suppose.
You should not attempt to listen to the backspace key or anything similar, as there are several ways to leave a page.
This would be the correct way.
window.addEventListener("beforeunload", function (event) {
event.returnValue = "Are you sure?";
});
MDN
There are several similar questions on here already but none of them provide a solution to what I'm looking for here.
When a user clicks the close button on their browser I need to pop up an alert to confirm that they really want to close their browser. This is easy enough to write:
$(window).bind('beforeunload', function(){
return 'Are you sure you want to close your browser?';
});
The problem with this is that it also fires when you do things like refresh your browser, click on buttons and links, etc.
Most of these can be prevented by detecting the key presses and checking the keyCodes like this:
if (e.keyCode == 114 || e.keyCode == 116 || e.keyCode == 0 || e.keyCode == 17 ||(e.ctrlKey && e.keyCode == 114)){
confirmBrowserClose = false;
}
$("a").bind("click", function() {
confirmBrowserClose = false;
});
$("form").bind("submit", function() {
confirmBrowserClose = false;
});
$("input[type=submit]").bind("click", function() {
confirmBrowserClose = false;
});
These things prevent most of them but one thing it doesn't work for is refresh. I can prevent it from firing when the user refreshes using the keyboard (like F5) but I need to know how to prevent my confirmation alert from firing when the user clicks the refresh button or enter in the URL window.
Most of what I've found scattered around the internet says that it either can't be done or they talk about things like using the keyCodes and F5 refresh. I know this can be done because there are many sites that have this functionality working. A couple sites that are using it are Facebook and JSFiddle.net. In Facebook, if you start typing a status update and then try to close your browser, it will popup a confirmation. In JSFiddle, if you make changes to your fiddle and then try to close your browser it will pop up a warning alert that your changes will be lost if you close.
Does anyone know how to do this?
This is not possible. If you observe properly, even Facebook.com and JSFiddle.net do not have this feature.
beforeunload is the only event that gets triggered on leaving the page.(either by page refresh [f5, ctrl+r], tab close, load another link[this also accounts to leaving the current page, hence triggering beforeunload])
From out of curiosity can i Control window.onbeforeunload event like check if the user decided to leave the page or stay in it and can I raise an alert or some function based on his decision if yes please tell me
<script type="text/javascript">
$(window).bind("beforeunload",function(){
if(//stay on page)
alert("i want to stay on the page");
else //leave page
alert("i want to leave the page");
});
</script>
I understand that window.onbeforeunload is an event that give the user a message to tell him that maybe you forget to do something before you leave but this quest is just out of curiosity and thank you
You can ONLY return a string which will show a dialog confirmation displaying the string you returned (But with additional ok/cancel buttons to confirm the action).
<script type="text/javascript">
$(window).bind("beforeunload",function(){
return 'Are you sure you want to leave this page?';
});
</script>
You cannot get the result of onbeforeunload. Also, even if you somehow managed to figure out a way to get the result, you wouldn't be able to raise an alert. You could probably run another function.
The showModalDialog(), alert(), confirm() and prompt() methods are now allowed to do nothing during pagehide, beforeunload and unload events.
Put a timer of one second. Clear it on unload. Should work, but didn't test it.
window.addEventListener('beforeunload', function (event) {
var timeId = setTimeout(yourFunctionIfTheUserStays, 1000);
window.addEventListener('unload', function (event) {
clearTimeout(timeId);
})
return 'Are you sure you want to leave this page?';
});
There is a lot of questions on stackoverflow.com about this issue. But there is really no answer, or I couldn't find it (in that case, I am sorry for this duplicate).
So I have an Ajax based web application, and I want to know if user want's to leave the page. Here's a snippet what I have:
function goodbye(e) {
if(!stopGoodbye) {
if(!e) e = window.event;
e.cancelBubble = true;
e.returnValue = 'You are leaving the system!';
if (e.stopPropagation) {
e.stopPropagation();
e.preventDefault();
}
}
}
window.onbeforeunload=goodbye
stopgoodbye is for turning off when clicking logout.
This works in Firefox, but in IE9 it is showing the dialog everytime user clicks a link which just changes some DIV content (an Ajax link)... If it helps, I am using Struts2 framework with jQuery.
you can actually turn the onbeforeupload warning off for the user(when they clicked on a link) by adding an onclick event to the anchor.
you can read more about here, the solution are in the comments
I have a page with a form that is submittes via ajaxSubmit() (so, without changing the page).
My goal is that, when the user try to change page (or even to close the browser), i ask him if really want to exit the page without sending the form (exactly as gmail does).
Gmail for example do this with a window.confirm-like popup, but if it is possible, i'll like to handle it with custom messages and options.
jQuery have the unload event:
$(window).unload( function () { alert("Bye now!"); } );
but it permits me just to do something before exit the page; i need to 'block' the page exit, if the user click the relative button.
So, how to handle (and cancel) the page-exit event?
try the following. Demo here
<script type="text/javascript">
function unloadPage(){
return "dont leave me this way";
}
window.onbeforeunload = unloadPage;
</script>
It's possible bind the "onbeforeunload" event with jQuery:
$(window).bind('beforeunload', function(e) {
return "ATTENZIONE!!";
});
It works!!
