JavaScript required to detect browser/tab close event (Pega 7.4)

Hi All,

We need a JavaScript to detect browser close event, since need to update/persist the data's to external system on window/tab close.

We tried using onbeforeunload function, but the problem here is onbeforeunload is triggering on both window/tab close and window refresh.

We are using Pega 7.4.

Thanks in Advance.

The only way in Javascript to detect that browser/tab close  are onunload & onbeforeunload events. But these events are also fired when we do a refresh or we press the browsers back button. I don't think you can natively detect a pure close in Javascript.
