try this instead. I believe that should call it before it unloads :) Oh and most browsers (all except IE) ignores your custom message. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WindowEventHandlers/onbeforeunload#Browser_compatibility

$('document').ready(function(){ $( window ).on('beforeunload',function() { return "Bye now!"; }); });
