Question

Is there a way to get mouse coordinates when the window is unloaded? I’ve tried the following (in firefox) but it doesn’t seem to let me pull much from e apart from type which returns unload.

$(window).unload(function(e) {
    var evt=window.event || e;
    alert(evt.pageX); // or screenX or clientX or whatever
});

Answer 1

In the unload event, there isn’t mouse coordinates included. (http://jsfiddle.net/DerekL/wtp9X/)

But if you want a hacky solution, you can continuously track user’s mouse position and use the last one in unload.
