  Detect if User Closes Page

  Mar 15, 2012 08:14 PM|LINK

  I have a parent page which opens a popup window (using window.open...) This popup has abutton which opens another popup window but closes itself at the same time.  If the user closes the 2nd popup I want the previous popup to open again.  I am using VWD and VB to code this application.  I am looking for some sort of unload event that can detect if a user closes the popup window.  I don't want to put a button on this 2nd popup, instead I just want to fire my code after the user closes using the upper right-hand 'X'.   

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi

  You can use the code like this:

  <script type="text/javascript">
   window.onbeforeunload = ToPrevious;
          function ToPrevious() {
              var PreviouseURL = document.referrer;
              window.open(PreviouseURL,"Previouse");
          }
  
      </script>

  Hope it helpful.
