I am trying to detect changes in window.location (for example to be notified if the user tries to reload the page) but I can't seem to find a way to do that. Are there some events associated with it?
Thanks

The unload event is fired when the user leaves the page. There's also a beforeunload event in some browsers, but it's not supported in Opera.

I didn't find anything just by searching on the web wrong keywords I guess. Awkward! By the way, thanks a lot! – Luke Morgan Jun 17 '12 at 11:44
