What Message To Display To The User When I Get To The Unload Event
May 29, 2009
Do I have a way (when I get the unload) to distinguish between X button and another cases(for example when moving writing another URL address)? I want to decide what message to display to the user when I get to the unload event, if this possible to do?
I have a query related to the life cycle of the java web page. When does the javascript page unload event gets invoked exactly?
Say suppose I am on page 1 and submit the page 1 or click on some link to view the page 2. The dollowing sequence of events will happen:
1. The user (on page 1) clicks on some link (pointing to page 2) on page 1 OR submits the page
2. The browser would send the request to the app server for page 2
3. The app server processes the request
4. The app server sends the resposne to the browser
5. The browser loads/displays the page 2
6. Invokes JS page load event on the browser
Now the question is - when does the JS unload event get invoked? As per my it is after Step 4 & Step 6. Is it always fired in this sequence OR is there any possibility that page unload event would be triggered before Step 4?
I have aded window unload event handler to my code. my page calls some function that takes few secs and page then loads in 5-6 secs. while ths page is loading, if user clicks 'x' on browser window, then code inside unload event handler doesnt get executed. if user waits for page to be loaded fully and hten clicks 'x', then unload event handler gets executed. but i want if during loading user decides to click 'x' button, then also unload handler shold get exucted.
I am pasting a sample code that simulates my situation:
I want to know that how can we fire unload event of body tag using javascript and I want to it for safari browser.I goole this many times but I am not getting the right.I know this is a very simple question for many users but I am a begginer of javascript.
What code can I put in the 'onbeforeunload' event to cancel the 'unload' action (when user closes browser) and then present the user with an alert saying that he/she must use the logout button.
I am using window.unload for some use case in my code. But windows.unload fires on every event. I know to controller it on event like button click or link, but how do I prevent Unload event to fire on refresh or back button event?
I am trying to initiate fancybox popup on page unload (i.e. when the user closes the browser window). I managed to find the following script which does the opposite (launches when the page loads). How can I reverse this code so that it executes on body unload?
I have a confirm message box which asks the user whether they wish to take a survey. At the moment the confirm box appears each time the page is loaded. Would there be a way that when the user selects OK to take the survey this is remembered, so when the users next visit the page the box doesn't appear?
I want to show some message in a box when the mouse is over a button (examples: undo, save, open, ecc ) like in some interface. I don't want to display the mesage in an alert window.
I am looking to return a pop up box if a certain value from my select box is picked PHP Code: var inpObjs = document.getElementsByName('typeofbike[]'); validChars=/^[a-zA-Zd]{16}$/; for(i=0; i < inpObjs.length; i++){ if (typeofbike== 'I will be using my own bike') Alert ("If using your own scooter / bike for training, it must be of a road worthy condition, to our instructors satisfaction. Please also bring with you your current CBT certificate, a valid certificate of insurance, MOT (if applicable), and also ensure the vehicle is displaying a valid tax disc and two legally sized 'L' Plates"); return false; }}
I am trying to put up a page for my students for them to be able to enter their class number into a field and instantly get a personalized text message. (ie student number 5 enters "5" and gets a message like "Congratulations on your homerun in Kickball Bobby!"
I'm looking for nice solution to handle file downloads. The problem with classic link in <a href="file"> is that in case of missing file, the main browser window is reloaded with 404 error, but I'd like to present to user a popup message without reload of main browser window.
I have a classified listing application (php) that shows an alert message on the main page to let the user know if there was an error, if the listing was entered, if a required field was left blank, etc.
the alert msg. displays whenever the page is loaded. However, if someone navigates with the forward or back buttons in the browser, or reloads the page, the alert message displays again.
I am pulling my hair out for a solution that shows the alert only once and then does not show an alert again until a new message is generated.
Have a jsp page that contains a button (<input type="submit" name="doThis" onClick="someFunction(field, arg2)"/>, when clicked it passes to params to a function that looks like this:
function somefunction(field, arg2) { for (i = 0; i < field.length; i++) { if (field[i].checked) {
[code]....
How can I change this so that the alert message is shown in the browser (no pop-up) using jquery?
I have php script that uploads a file. once i click upload it should display a animated GIF image or "Loading please wait" message with the backround transparent screen covering the whole page so that the user is not able to click anything during file upload. How can i do this?
I'm trying to get this code to display a message for a first time visitor, and a different message for a return visitor. This is the code the book I'm using is giving me.

I am trying to display a random number, but each time a button is pressed that calls the test function, i don't want to random number to be repeated. I know I have to declare 2 variables and a while loop, but i'm stuck as to what to put in the second variable and in the while loop.
var random = Math.floor(Q * Math.random()); var random2 = ?? function test () { document.write(random); while (random == random2) { document.write(random); }}
I'm relatively new to jQuery, and I don't understandy why the following doesn't work. Hopefully, you can enlighten me. I declared a variable: var currHive = $("#masterHive") .find("div.currentHive"); Now I want to see if the query returned the correct element id. So, I tried each of the alert messages shown below, one-at-a-time. This is the strategy I am using to verify the code; i.e. do something, then tell me what I did.
Note: I have successfully used --- alert($(this).attr('id')); --- in an experiement to tell me which button was clicked, in a statement using the .bind() method.
I have a popup window. When a user click 'x' on the upper righthand corner to close the window, I want to display and message with yes or no option. Would you let me know how I can do this?
