  • You can detect someone *leaving* a page (even if they are simply refreshing it in their browser); is that sufficient? – Adrian Wragg May 19 '15 at 11:46
  • No that will not perform the task, as user can leave the page due to post back also, so only in this specific scenario I want to refresh the page with some url changes. In HTML 5 we can change the url firectly, but as we still supporting IE8, so before refreshing I need to put Hash value in URL. Please suggest. – Dreamweaver May 20 '15 at 07:09
  • In which case, what you're after isn't possible. Note that both the answers you've had so far don't meet this requirement. – Adrian Wragg May 20 '15 at 10:30

You can perform you actions before reloading with - OnBeforeUnload().

 window.onbeforeunload = function (e) {
e = e || window.event;
// For IE and Firefox prior to version 4
if (e) {
    e.returnValue = 'Are you sure? You will lose unsaved changes.';
}
// For Safari
return 'Are you sure? You will lose unsaved changes.';
};

here is the snippet which checks the reload functionality on a page.
