How to get notification when Back button is clicked

[jeet232]

Hi, how can I get to know when user clicks browser back button? I want my own javascript code to be executed when this happens.

Also, is there a way that whenever any link in the page is clicked, my code executes. I can't add eventhandler to every link. Can it be done at once?

Thanks for your time

You can use onbeforeunload. This will fire before the user leaves the page. Note that it will also fire when reloading, when using the forward button or when closing the browser.
