Save/Leave Event after editing a Page

Question

I need to fire some functionality from javascript when a user has finished editing a page and saves it or leaves the editing mode.

Is there a possibility to catch the event?

Answer 1

Use window.onbeforeunload in edit mode to perform all your operations. Here is how you check edit/display mode

    window.onbeforeunload = function (e) {
    var message = "Your confirmation message goes here.",
     e = e || window.event;
     // For IE and Firefox
     if (e) {
        e.returnValue = message;
     }

      // For Safari
      return message;
};
