I have a small website who’s client side framework is jQuery.

I have a page where I need to do some AJAX action before the page unloads but that action may not fire if a certain button was clicked.

I was trying this with:

<body onbeforeunload="myaction();">

But how do I know that certain button was clicked or not?

    You can bind onbeforeunload into jQuery also:

    myCounter = true;
$(window).load(function(){
    $('#mytest').bind('click', function(){
        myCounter = false;
    });
});
$(window).bind('beforeunload', function() {
    if (myCounter) {
       $.ajax({
          type: 'POST',
          url: 'mytest.php'
        });
    }
});
