myname · Jan 29, 2005

How can I understand when auser of the web page pres the reload button
of the web browaser or when he press enter in the line where the
internet address is inserted? I'd like capture this event to manage it.

Thanks,
Marco

You can't distinguish reloading from entering an URL, following a link,
or closing the browser window. All of these user actions simply cause
an unload event.

Argh!
In my web page where I use javascript I can see that IE e Mozilla have
different behaviours!

How can I capture the unload event with javascript?

Thank very much,
Marco

Here is an example html file. I do not recommend pestering the user
when doing an onunload. New browsers limit what can be down in the
onunload event.
