window.onunload is not working properly in Chrome browser. Can any one help me?

by

There are some actions which are not working in chrome, inside of the unload event. Alert or confirm boxes are such things.

But what is possible (AFAIK):

  1. Open popups (with window.open) – but this will just work, if the popup blocker is disabled for your site
  2. Return a simple string (in beforeunload event), which triggers a confirm box, which asks the user if s/he want to leave the page.

Example for #2:

$(window).on('beforeunload', function() {
    return 'Your own message goes here...';
});
