Using javascript, when the tab is closed the alert is shown to user to confirm leaving the page , but the problem is i want to detect which button "Leave this page" or "stay on this page" is clicked as i have to perform some function based on this.

<script>
 window.onbeforeunload = function() {
        return 'are you sure';
    }
</script>

I'm not sure you can really do this considering if they press "Leave this page" they'll no longer be on your site? – Alexis Tyler Aug 24 '15 at 05:19
my client wants to redirect to another link when clicking on stay on this page – Atul Prajapati Aug 24 '15 at 05:22
you need to identify those buttons, as there is no way to find which button event raise page redirect request. – A.T. Aug 24 '15 at 05:22
