[removed] executed on page refresh instead of on page close

Question

I\'m using window.onbeforeunload to pop up a confirm dialog when a close event occurs, but the confirm dialog appears on page refresh and doesn\'t execute on pa

No full solution, but you can intercept the F5 key (not intercepted if the user click on the refresh browser button...)

var isRefresh = false;

// with jquery

$(function() {
  $(document).on("keydown", function(e) {
    if (e.which === 116)
    {
      isRefresh = true;
    }
  });
});

window.onbeforeunload = function() {
 if (! isRefresh)
 {
   return confirm ('Close ?');
 }
 return false;
};
