Topic: Modal Popup window at leaving the page
Hi,
I would like to have a script to show a modal popup window when the user try to leave the page either by using history button or any link in the page.
I tried the below code, but I see no results
<script>
$(window).ready(function(){
function UnLoadWindow() {
$('#exModal1').modal('shown');
}
window.onbeforeunload = UnLoadWindow;
});
</script>
I have this one, but the browser add its own text, not my text
<script>
function UnLoadWindow() {
return 'I want my text here, not the browser default text.'
}
window.onbeforeunload = UnLoadWindow;
</script>
Thx
Manuel
Hi there,
According to this page https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WindowEventHandlers/onbeforeunload You can't display modal instead prompt while reloading the page. However You could change the text inside the prompt using the following code:
window.addEventListener('beforeunload', function (e) {
// Cancel the event as stated by the standard.
e.preventDefault();
// Chrome requires returnValue to be set.
e.returnValue = '';
});Best

This was deprecated years ago unfortunately. You cannot change the text inside the prompt.
