Detect Mobile Browser Close Event

Question

Is there any way to detect mobile browser close event? I need to forcefully delete a cookie on browser close. I have already tried my luck with window.onbeforeunload and window.unload but they doesn't work for mobile browsers. Search on the web a lot but didn't get any solution.

Thanks in advance

set a cookie with a past expires time ? – Heroism

Are you killing the browser tab ? – Mallemuck

@Heroism I need to do that after I get the close event. – Gaiter

This wouldn't work anyway. What if I just pulled the battery? Ask yourself this: If I don't want the data to be persistent, should I really be storing it in a cookie? – Acervate

@RGraham Its kinda flag kind thing which I need across all the pages. I am not storing any data – Gaiter

What about a session cookie then? This question is worth a read – Acervate

@AnkurAggarwal, why after the close event ? the browser will remove this cookie when the tab will be closed I guess. – Heroism

@AnkurAggarwal you can use localstorage or sessionstorage in javascript to set and access data across webpages for a single session.. – Complexity

Answer 1

I'm sorry but it's just impossible with Javascript... You can prevent the action of closing tab but not to do something when it will be close...
