hi all

i have two function each doing separate work.

<script language="javascript">
function conf()
{
confirm("do you want to exit");
}
function todo()
{
alert("bye");
and some more code here
}
</script>

i am calling function conf() in <body onunload="conf()"> which is giving a confirmation alert that provides two option ok and cancel.

now i want that if the user clicks ok then my second function which is functiontodo() would be called on that press of ok, if he clicks cancel then that function should not be called.

how is it possible.

HI OESXYL

thanks for the reply. that is working fine.

i would like to ask you one more question that i m using

<script language="javascript">
window.onunload = function()
{
alert("bye");
}
</script>

This code should give me alert only on windows unload means when i close browser tab then why is this giving me alert everytime i refresh the page.

because each time you reload the page is fire onload.

off topic, use type="text/javascript" or other type instead of language attribute.

use onunload instead, this will fire when the window is closed.

<body onunload="yourfunction();">

other ways is like in your code or this way:

window.onunload = functionname;

when you use refresh you load a new page and unload the current one => your function is called.

When you refresh the page, click a link, close the browser, etc, they all fire an unload event because the page is exiting. There is no real way to determine if it is a refresh or a close.
