Send AJAX to server beforeunload [duplicate]

Answer 1

Just for sake of completion, here's what I did, thanks to @Jashwant for the guidance: I noticed that this other SO Q&A suggested the same solution. The KEY is the async:true(false) in the $.ajax call below:

$(window).bind('beforeunload', function(){ 
  if(/Firefox[\/\s](\d+)/.test(navigator.userAgent) && new Number(RegExp.$1) >= 4) {
    console.log('firefox delete');
     var data={async:false};
     memcacheDelete(data);
     return null;
  } 
  else {
    console.log('NON-firefox delete');
     var data={async:true};
     memcacheDelete(data);
    return null;
  }
});

function memcacheDelete(data) {
  $.ajax({
    url: "/memcache/delete", 
    type: "post",
    data:{}, 
    async:data.async,
    success:function(){
      console.log('memcache deleted');
    }//success
  }); //ajax
}
