call a function before windows.onbeforeunload event triggers

Asked by jagadeesh_motamarri in JavaScript, JavaScript Frameworks

Hi Experts -

The idea is to check if the form is dirty and display a confirm dialog box to the user to save the page before navigating away....i'm done with 99% of this task using Jquery.

here is the last piece...

Now i need call a function ( callThisAtLast() ) after the user clicks on "OK" confirm dialog box and just before the page unloads...how do i achieve this?

Here is the sample snippets that prompts the dialog box.

Thanks

	if ( formIsChanged == true ){
	   return "        !!! You have unsaved data on this page !!!";
	}else{
	  if (checkOthers()) {
          
          }else{
	    return "        !!! You have unsaved data on this page !!!";
