Event Methods
.unload()
Binds an event handler to the unload JavaScript event.
.unload(handler)
Parameters
• handler: A function to execute when the event is triggered.
Return Value
The jQuery object, for chaining purposes.
Description
This handler is a shortcut for .bind('unload', handler).
The unload event is sent to the window element when the user has navigated away
from the page. This could mean one of many things. The user could have clicked on
a link to leave the page, or typed in a new URL in the address bar. The forward and
back buttons will trigger the event. Closing the browser window will cause the event
to be triggered. Even a page reload will first create an unload event.
Any unload event handler should be bound to the window object:
$(window).unload(function() {
alert('Unload event was triggered.');
});
After this code executes, the alert will be displayed whenever the browser leaves the
current page.
It is not possible to cancel the unload event with .preventDefault(). This event is
available so that scripts can perform cleanup when the user leaves the page.
.error()
Binds an event handler to the error JavaScript event.
.error(handler)
