I want to show popup only when user close the browser window. But, In the following code. It showing popup when I refresh the page.
My Code
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
var key = true;
$(window).bind('beforeunload', function(e){
if(key)
return confirm("Do you really want to close? This will log you out of your profile.");
e.preventDefault()
});
$(document).on("click","a",function() {
key=false;
});
});
</script>
This is essentially what you need.
Source: open a custom popup on browser window/tab close
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/SQAmG/5/
var popit = true;
window.onbeforeunload = function() {
if(popit == true) {
popit = false;
return "Are you sure you want to leave?";
}
}
EDIT
Use HTML5 Web Storage to simulate sessions within the browser. Here you would want to use sessionStorage rather than localStorage so the session ends when the browser window is completely closed.
If the sessionStorage variable is set, do not start the popup, otherwise allow the popup code to execute.

If you set onbeforeunload callback, it will be executed every time whether you close the tab or refresh the page. So, lets get into some hack here. When we close the tab, the window loses its focus. So Inside onbeforeunload we will just check if the window has focus. If it has, you are refreshing the page. If it has lost focus, probably you have closed the tab.
window.onbeforeunload=function(){
if(!document.hasfocus()){
//show popup
}
}

like says my title...
Is it possible to fire a modal when the user attempts to close the browser with AngularJS? I need to show the modal for the user to fill out a survey.
If that is possible, have u some tuto? I have trying the next code in my controller, but displays a confirm window.
$window.onbeforeunload = function (event) {
var message = 'If you leave this page you are going to lose all unsaved changes, are you sure you want to leave?';
if (typeof event == 'undefined') {
event = $window.event;
}
return message;
};
Thanks for ur help.
beforeunload is a browser standard. Whatever you return from the function is the message that displays in the confirmation dialog before closing the window.
If you're using a browser that complies to this standard like Firefox, Chrome, or IE, you won't be able to hijack the native behaviour. So, your confirmation message should be persuasive enough for the user to want to stay on your site.
Hi There im looking for a way to log a user out of my site ONLY if they close the tab or browser.
At the moment im just trying to alert a message on tab close or browser close but cant find a solution anywhere.
I've done research and come across onbeforeunload, however it alerts every time you try to navigate to a different page in the site.
i need to be able to navigate through the site and perform functions and only perform an action on close.
Current code (alerts message every time you navigate)
<script>
function closeIt()
{
if (window.closed) {
return "Any string value here forces a dialog box to \n" +
"appear before closing the window.";
}
}
window.onbeforeclose = closeIt;
</script>
First detect browser tab close:
$(document).ready(function()
{
$(window).bind("beforeunload", function() {
return confirm("Do you really want to close? This will log you out of your profile.");
});
});
Than change your login preference based on return value.

Is it possible to trigger a function when a using closes the browser tab and prevent it from closing instead a popup will ask the user to proceed to other page or continue to close the browser page?
Scenario:
When the user closes the browser tab of a page, then it wont close right away instead a custom popup (possibly html popup) will prompt and ask if continue to close or proceed to other page. So it would have 2 buttons, "Close" and "Proceed to Page".
If it's not possible using HTML popup, prompt would be fine too. But it should be crossbrowser.
By the way, i prefer using Javascript.. So that's my ideal script to make this function work
Thanks :)
You're looking for onbeforeunload:
window.onbeforeunload = function() {
return "Are you sure you wish to leave the page?";
}
Just know that you will really annoy your visitors if you do this, it is strongly disliked.
Try this:
var popit = true;
window.onbeforeunload = function() {
if(popit == true) {
popit = false;
return "Are you sure you want to leave?";
}
}
Working Fiddle
The question is pretty much all in the title.
Is it possible (and how?) to open a popup with javascript and then detect when the user closes it?
I am using jquery within the project so a jquery solution would be good. Cheers!
If you have control over the contents of the pop-up, handle the window's unload event there and notify the original window via the opener property, checking first whether the opener has been closed. Note this won't always work in Opera.
window.onunload = function() {
var win = window.opener;
if (!win.closed) {
win.someFunctionToCallWhenPopUpCloses();
}
};
Since the unload event will fire whenever the user navigates away from the page in the pop-up and not just when the window is closed, you should check that the pop-up has actually closed in someFunctionToCallWhenPopUpCloses:
var popUp = window.open("popup.html", "thePopUp", "");
function someFunctionToCallWhenPopUpCloses() {
window.setTimeout(function() {
if (popUp.closed) {
alert("Pop-up definitely closed");
}
}, 1);
}
If you don't have control over the contents of the pop-up, or if one of your target browsers does not support the unload event, you're reduced to some kind of polling solution in the main window. Adjust interval to suit.
var win = window.open("popup.html", "thePopUp", "");
var pollTimer = window.setInterval(function() {
if (win.closed !== false) { // !== is required for compatibility with Opera
window.clearInterval(pollTimer);
someFunctionToCallWhenPopUpCloses();
}
}, 200);
There is a very simple solution to your problem.
First make a new object which will open up a pop like this :
var winObj = window.open('http://www.google.com','google','width=800,height=600,status=0,toolbar=0');
In order to know when this popup window is closed, you just have to keep checking this with a loop like the following :
var loop = setInterval(function() {
if(winObj.closed) {
clearInterval(loop);
alert('closed');
}
}, 1000);
Now you can replace alert with any javascript code you want.
Have Fun! :)
Try looking into the unload and beforeunload window events. Monitoring these should give you an opportunity to call back when the DOM unloads when the window is closed via something like this:
var newWin = window.open('/some/url');
newWin.onunload = function(){
// DOM unloaded, so the window is likely closed.
}
If you can use the jQuery UI Dialog, it actually has a close event.
To open a new window call:
var wnd = window.open("file.html", "youruniqueid", "width=400, height=300");
If you just want to know when that window is going to close, use onunload.
wnd.onunload = function(){
// do something
};
If you want a confirmation from the user before the can close it, use onbeforeunload.
wnd.onbeforeunload = function(){
return "are you sure?";
};
We do this in one of my projects at work.
The trick is to have a JS function in your parent page that you plan to call when the popup is closed, then hook the unload event in the popup.
The window.opener property refers to the page that spawned this popup.
For example, if I wrote a function named callingPageFunction on my original page, I would call it from the popup like this:
$(window).unload(function() {
window.opener.callingPageFunction()
});
Two notes:
This should be wrapped in a ready function.
I have an anonymous function because you may want other logic in there
I thinks best way is:
const popup = this.window.open(url.toString());
popup.addEventListener('unload', ()=> console.log('closed'))
Yes, handle the onbeforeUnload event for the popup window and then call a function on the parent window using:
window.opener.myFunction()
This worked for me.
onunload event will be triggered whenever DOM is unloaded for example if url is changed and previous page DOM is unloaded and DOM for new page is loaded.
var newWin = window.open('/some/url',"Example");
newWin.onunload = function(){
if(newWin.closed){
// DOM unloaded and Window Closed.Do what ever you want to do here
}
}
I have one parent page and child page. the child page opened in new tab
I want to show one alert message (The child page is closing), when i close the child tab.
How to show the closing messgae, when close the tab? (Not refreshing time)
I used onunload, and onbeforeunload.
Two methods are also called, when the page refresh and tab closing.
window.onunload = function doUnload(e)
{
alert('Child window is closing...');
}
and
window.onbeforeunload = function doUnload(e)
{
alert('Child window is closing...');
}
I must show the alert message, only close the tab in browser.
Help me.
Thanks in advance.
Update
I use the following script. Its worked In IE. But not worked in FireFox
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
window.onbeforeunload = function()
{
if ((window.event.clientX < 0) || (window.event.clientY < 0) || (window.event.clientX < -80))
{
alert("Child window is closing...");
}
};
</script>
How to acheive this in FireFox and other Browser.
There is afaik never been a cross browser script for this. The solution is to NOT rely on undocumented and changeable features of a specific browser to detect something that is important.
Since you have a CHILD page, you can set up a test in the parent (opener) that at intervals test the childWindowHandle.closed property and acts on that.
Does the script from http://chrismckee.co.uk/good-sir-before-you-unload-crossbrowser-javascript-headaches/ work?
Assuming your just trying to fire beforeunload event crossbrowser, this pretty much does it ( excluding opera )
try{
// http://www.opera.com/support/kb/view/827/
opera.setOverrideHistoryNavigationMode('compatible');
history.navigationMode = 'compatible';
}catch(e){}
//Our Where The F' Are You Going Message
function ReturnMessage()
{
return "WTF!!!";
}
//UnBind Function
function UnBindWindow()
{
window.onbeforeunload = null;
return true;
}
//Bind Links we dont want to affect
document.getElementById('homebtn').onclick = UnBindWindow;
document.getElementById('googlebtn').onclick = UnBindWindow;
//Bind Exit Message Dialogue
window.onbeforeunload = ReturnMessage;
There is an example in Mozilla Devloper site which basically says check for browser type
and use the below check accordingly.Hope this helps.
You might not be able to do that other than some cookie based methods which is development work arounds like non persistent cookies. Second identifying a page refresh, form based redirect, or back redirect or browser close unload event identification is not direct and is tedious. Recommend not to depend on it.
you can do some small things before the customer closes the tab. javascript detect browser close tab/close browser but if your list of actions are big and the tab closes before it is finished you are helpless. You can try it but with my experience donot depend on it. Yes, you cannot at this time differentiate back and refresh and close. So no foolproof way of saying whether the child has definitely closed.
window.addEventListener("beforeunload", function (e) {
var confirmationMessage = "\o/";
/* Do you small action code here */
(e || window.event).returnValue = confirmationMessage; //Gecko + IE
return confirmationMessage; //Webkit, Safari, Chrome
});
