Question

Hi I use javascript to save information after page going to be close or navigate to another page.My problem is when I call webservice in window.onbeforeunload it is not going to fire and I dont get result. But If I put alert at the end of function webservice going to fire and I get result.I don’t want to use alert at all .Is there any way.my code is as follows:

    window.onbeforeunload = InitializeService;
     function InitializeService() {
        if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {

            var url = "http://localhost:54329/WebServices/PageUnloadCall.asmx?op=Page_Unload";

           myReq.onreadystatechange = checkStatus1;

           myReq.open("GET", url, true); // true indicates asynchronous request

           myReq.send();

      //     alert("Your Call Record Has Been Saved!");

     }
     }
     function checkStatus1() {

         if (myReq.readyState == 4) // Completed operation
         {

             myReq.open("POST", "http://localhost:54329/WebServices/PageUnloadCall.asmx/Page_Unload", false);

             myReq.send();

         }
     }

As you can see in function InitializeService ,I dont want to use Alert there but if I dont I dont get result.

The alert is allowing the async call to finish allowing the response. Change:

myReq.open("GET", url, true);

to:

myReq.open("GET", url, false);
