Question

I want to execute an ajax query when one user close the window. Ive got this code:

var $jQ = jQuery.noConflict();

$jQ(window).bind('unload', function() {

    $jQ.ajax({
       type: "GET",
       url: "http://www.mydomain.com/post_untrack.php"  ,
       success: function(msg){
          alert("Untrack");
       }
    });

});

I receive the “alert” event, but the script is not executed…

post_untrack.php:

<?php
mail("[e-mail]", "Script executed", "Hooray!!!");
?>

Any idea ?

Thanks!!!

To make this work, you need to add the property

async: false

to .ajax() options object, plus you need to execute it on onbeforeunload so in jQuery

$jQ(window).bind('beforeunload',...);
