Question

I have The following in my main javascript file:

window.onbeforeunload = function () {
    firstFunction();
}

$("a").live("click", function() {
   secondFunction();
}

When user clicks on any link that unloads the page (i.e. navigate to another page), both of those functions get called; FirstFunction() gets called first, then secondFunction() gets called. I want the secondFunction() to get called before the firstFunction();

I was able to achieve this by doing this: setTimeout(‘firstFunction(),100), but I am wondering if there is a better way of doing this?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I suggest you to use mousedown event instead of click.
