POClose browser/Exit from website Events
text
Body
copied!<p>Nowadays I am creating browser game, using ASPX, CSS and AJAX. I need to know when the user close the browser or exit from website, because of these cases for example:</p> <ol> <li><p>if a player opens a game room and than close the browser or exit from the website, this room need to be deleted immediately. </p></li> <li><p>2 players are playing in a room, and than one of them leave so the game is finished and the one that stay is the winner. In this case I can use the countdown timer of the players' turns, and when the countdown timer reaches 0 - The other player wins, but I prefer that the message will appear as soon as the player left the room, its faster, and when the countdown reaches 0 there is 2 possibilities - the player left or the player didn't react in time.</p></li> </ol> <p>Anyone can tell me how can I know when the user close the browser or exit from my website? because as far as I know the Session object won't be effective since the Session_End method runs several minutes after the browser is close or the user is AFK, and I can't let the Session_End close the room for players that are AFK since they are waiting for more players to join, and I need to fire my events immediately.</p> <p>P.S: I found this method, I don't know if its works but I don't think it will fit my needs because I need the event to fire even when the user move from my site to another website.</p> <pre><code>Ext.EventManager.on(window, 'beforeunload', function() { alert('cross-exit tab click AND cross-exit browser click'); }); </code></pre>
