I tried this code, but it is not working.

what are you trying to do? keep users from leaving your site? But only the second time they try and leave? — Peter Ehrlich, Dec 24 '11 at 05:45

In bbb.jsp:

window.onbeforeunload = function() { 
    window.setTimeout(function () { 
        window.location = 'AAA.jsp';
    }, 0); 
    window.onbeforeunload = null; // necessary to prevent infinite loop, that kills your browser 
}

Windows onload loads after all the content is loaded, little bit slow other workaround is to use document.onload(Browser compatibility issue)

window.onload = function () {
  window.location = "/allotment";
}

In bbb.jsp file

<script>
    submitFormOkay = false;
    $(document.body).on("click", "a", function() {
        submitFormOkay = true;
    });
    window.onbeforeunload = function(event) {
        event.preventDefault(); 
        if (!submitFormOkay) {
            window.setTimeout(function () { 
                window.location = "index.html";
            }, 0); 
            window.onbeforeunload = null;
        }
    }
</script>

I hope this will help. Cheers!

This has worked for me. Not the second attempt part, but changing URL after showing the popup. If you hit cancel, the function is not ran. If you click "Reload", the function is called and you will be redirected.

$(window).on('beforeunload', function() {
  $(window).on('unload', function() {
    window.location.href = 'index.html';
  });

  return 'Not an empty string';
});
