sKunKbad Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I don't think what your trying to do is possible. I understand usage of window.onbeforeunload, but don't believe that it's meant to be used for what you're attempting to do. As far as I know, window.onbeforeunload is only going to give the site visitor a chance to stay of leave, based on a suggested message. For instance, "Are you sure you want to leave, because if you do the world will self destruct.". Maybe I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
