Onbeforeunload not work on mobile browser? Any alternative?

Hi. I've a js confirm message if a user want to leave the page. It work on pc browser but when I try to use it on mobile safari it doesn't work. And I can't find any thing from the internet. There're only a little in the net but those doesn't have a firm solution. It's more a suggestion to give a try but it's no use.

Anyone know any alternative? Thank you.


window.onbeforeunload = askUser ;
function askUser(){
return "Are you sure to exit?";
}

You might want to use "window.unload" for Safari, instead of "window.onbeforeunload".

iOS Developer Library - Safari Handling Events

Then, if needed; you might be able to use the abort() event; to prevent propagation.

I tried this. I did a alert or open inside and no respond. Any idea?

$(window).unload(function() {
window.open("http://www.google.ca");
});

I can do onunload but I can't do abort. It seems doesn't work. My main goal is to do confirm message and if they cancel then it won't leave the page. I'm just trying to do abort but not work. Even window stop() seem not work.

window.onunload=function() {
window.abort();
}

Did you try something like this?



Because according to the Safari Web Content Guide; Safari iOS supports JavaScript dialog methods; such as: alert, confirm, print, and prompt.
