  Unload event - not being captured

  Apr 26, 2003 01:43 PM|LINK

  Hi i am trying to capture the onunload event of a web form because i would like to be able to perform certain things if the user presses the back button. i am using the following instructiong onunload="SaveSettings()" where SaveSettings() is a method defined in the code behind. The problem is that this method is never executed. I even tried the onbeforeunload but in vain. Any ideas pls? Thanks in advance MD

  I dont think back button will active unload event. because it occurs when the server control is unloaded from memory.

  There is no connection between the browser closing with the server-side event, unload. These things are happening in different contexts, ie, client and server.

  Is there a way for client side unload to do postback to the server side?
