Event on child window refresh

Question

I am creating a child window in Javascript using following code:

var wnd = window.open( url );

How can i determine whether child window is refreshed or not? Is there any event for it?

Thanks in advance.

I don't think there's an event for that but you might be looking for the events unload and beforeunload (the latter only expecting a string to be shown in a popup). These are triggered when: closing a window, navigating to a new page or refreshing the actual page.

So in your case you may write something like:

var wnd = window.open( url );
wnd.onbeforeunload = function() { do something here }

Have a look at this post for more examples.
