Question

Hello everyone please let know how to show a popup on hover when user close a browser . It's possible or not

Tuhin Paul · Answer

Unfortunately, it is not possible to show a popup on hover when the user closes a browser tab or window using the onbeforeunload or unload events, because for the two methods you need to return a string. Infact you cannot use your own dialog boxes (or jQueryUI modal dialogs) to override beforeunload method. One option would be to use a service like Notify.js, which allows you to show notifications even when the user is about to close the browser. Another option would be to use a browser extension like Stay.js, which prevents the user from closing the browser tab or window until they have dismissed the notification.

window.addEventListener('beforeunload', function(event) { // Cancel the default event (optional) event.preventDefault(); // Customize the message to display in the popup var message = 'Are you sure you want to leave this page?'; // Display the popup event.returnValue = message; return message; });

Hello Anukesh, You can use "beforeunload" to show pop up, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/beforeunload_event

There is no specific event for capturing the browser close event. You can only capture on unload of the current page. $(window).unload(function() { //do something }); By this method, it will be effected while refreshing / navigating the current page. Even calculating of X Y position of the mouse event doesn't give you good result.
