The following code works fine in Chrome, but not working in IE11. Is there anything wrong with this code? How to make it work in IE as well?

window.onbeforeunload = function () {
    var newLine = "\r\n";
    var message = "Line1";
    message += newLine;
    message += "Line2";
    return message;
}

Thanks

Works in IE11 ... click "run" twice in this fiddle https://jsfiddle.net/vqxvarej/ – Asons Feb 11 '16 at 10:57
It doesn't get invoked if you close the browser with the X but is invoked when ran in Chrome. – Andrew T Finnell Jul 26 '18 at 17:10
