Hi.. I wrote the below script in my master layout for browser refresh and close..
I need to log out the user in both scenarios and below function works well..

C#

<script type="text/javascript">

    var refresh = true;
    var success = false;

    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("a,:input").click(function () {
            refresh = false;
        });


        //Script for Browser refresh and close...
        var myEvent = window.attachEvent || window.addEventListener;
        var chkevent = window.attachEvent ? 'onbeforeunload' : 'beforeunload';

        myEvent(chkevent, function (e) {
            if (refresh == true) {

                $.ajax(
                {
                    type: "POST",
                    traditional: true,
                    dataType: "json",
                    async: false,
                    url: '@Url.Action("MyActionMethod", "MyController")',


                        success: function (data) {

                            if (data == "Success") {
                                success = true;
                            }
                        }
                    });

                }
            });

        });
</script>

In my content view i have the anchor tag like follows.. and clicking the link it vl redirect to respected url.. But when I m cliking that link first it fires the refresh_close related function which exist in my master layout.. I don't want to fire that function when clicking the link..

This is my anchor

I need to restrict calling beforeunload event while cliking anchor..

How can I accomplish this..

Thanks in Advance..
Honey..

Solution 1

HTML

<a id="aTest" href="GoogleMapsAPITest.aspx" onclick="return MyFunction();">Test Here !</a>

JavaScript

function MyFunction() {
  //add logic here to conditionally return true or false
  // false means no reloading.
  return false;
}

Hope this makes sense for you.
