Want to set alert on browser close button. share your idea

Question

actually if session is going on and user directly close the browser close button then it shows some alert. and by seeing that alert he can continue or cancel the alert.

Googled 'alert when page closes', got http://stackoverflow.com/questions/333665/javascript-to-get-an-alert-when-closing-the-browser-window as a first result. Did you even try? — Tim, Apr 21 '14 at 11:39

This bellow script can be to detect the close event of browser and alert a messages using javascript. Works Perfectly On Mozilla firefox, Chrome and all famous browsers.

<script type="text/javascript">
window.onbeforeunload = function(){ myUnloadEvent(); }
function myUnloadEvent() {
    alert ('alert messages that you want to put');
}
</script>

Hope this will work perfectly.
