[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

Answer 1

Try this it will work. You were assigning the method to onload that need to execute when it event occur so its need to be like object. refer link for better explanation - var functionName = function() {} vs function functionName() {}

 window.onbeforeunload = confirmWinClose;
 function confirmWinClose () {
 var confirmClose = confirm('Close?');
 return confirmClose;
 };
