I need a help with this function onunload.

What I want is to differentiate those events close window and refresh page on Internet Explorer and Firefox because on Google Chrome work fine.

To explain the issue, when I close a window and refresh a page on Internet Explorer or Firefox the function onunload is called; but in Google Chrome, only when you close windows.

Also I use the event onbeforeunload but the same issue occurs.

So the question is, how can I differentiate those event in Firefox and Internet Explorer? Is this possible?

I will be grateful with your help or some information about this issue.

lol you cant create a fiddle for that or that would be weird. maybe it could be possible to check timestamps using cookies? – Alex Jan 09 '14 at 08:44
