Hi, I’m trying to have a function called when the user closes a window. Here is the code I’m using at the moment: \ ‘fadeBack’ is the name of the function. The problem is that onUnload also works when the page changes to another url. I only want it to work when the user actually closes the window. Is this possible? Is there an onUnload alternative which is specific to window closing? Thanks.
