onbeforeunload : differentiate between different events

[rhitam]

Hi all ,

I was just going through the onneforeunload property here:

http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/demos/...nloadDemo1.htm


Now , consider a scenario such as this :

my website is located at say www.mywebsite.com which has several web
pages for which i want to have the onneforeunload event . Now , assume
that all the web pages are including a js file where i can have the
code for the event which is like this :


var needToConfirm = true;
window.onbeforeunload = confirmExit;
function confirmExit()
{
// Handle what to do
}

now , the event can fire in either of the following cases:
1) Tab is closed
2) User navigates to another page within the same websote.
3) window is closed
4) User navigates to another page outside the domain of www.mywebsite.com


How to handle all these cases separately? To be more specific , how
can i tell whether the user has navigated within or outside the domain
of the website?

Any help appreciated.

Regards,
Rhitam

You can't do it.
