button clicked

[Nithya Venkatachalam]

Hi,

onclicking a button, iam calling a function which loads some other
page. so, it is calling onUnloadhandler.
In this onunloadhandler, is there any way to find the name of that
button?

Why not just send the buttons id or name when you call the function?

<button onclick="someFunction(this.id)" id="myButton">Text</button>

But I think the event handler you want is onBeforeUnload, not onunload.
