How to detect what page i am being redirected to using javascript.
$(window).on("onbeforeunload",()=>{
alert("Something")
})
This code never executes (despite me reloading the page or clicking on other URLs). I am running my scripts on localhost. Also, i would like to know the URL of the page that i am being redirected to.
This is my full HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Practice</title>
<script
src=".3.1/jquery.min.js">
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script>
$(window).unload(()=>{
alert("Something");
})
</script>
<a href = "http:\\www.youtube">Link</a>
</body>
</html>

The event name is just
beforeunloadnotonbeforeunload. But you're not allowed to callalert()during this, it should just return a string. – Barmar Commented May 5, 2018 at 7:00 - Is there any way of detecting what URL i am being redirected to? – Computeshorts Commented May 5, 2018 at 7:02

Reset to default 3Maybe you can alert() or do whatever you want and then redirect to the url like the following example?
$('a').on('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
let url = this.href;
alert(`You're leaving this page, would be redirected to : ${url}`)
window.location.href = url;
})<script src="https://ajax.googleapis./ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

if ("onhashchange" in window) {
alert("The browser supports the hashchange event!");
}
function locationHashChanged() {
if (location.hash === "#somecoolfeature") {
somecoolfeature();
}
}
window.onhashchange = locationHashChanged;
