It is activated!
Here's the code, in case u want to try yourself:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>that test</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--//
window.onunload = abort;
function abort() {
alert("triggered!");
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Something here
</BODY>
</HTML>
Works fine in IE...
Funnily enough, when You load the html the first time, nothing happens
when leaving the page (closing window..) but when reloading it, the
event gets triggered, or when adding additional info to the uri (file.
html?test).. So I guess, it's just that Opera doesn't trigger onUnload
when window gets closed, but only when it is "left"... Guess it has to
do with execution time before the leftovers are burnt to garbage?
Any other ideas?
