bug

the function

$( window ).unload(function() {

alert( "Bye now!" );

});

can not work on Chrom

[axl.jq]

The event isn't intended to do such things, it's only to show a *confirmation message*. Chrome is blocking old behavior to run specific code onunload. As it should always be.

Use it this way: ​http://stackoverflow.com/a/3464537/1670956

jQuery guys, you should remove outdated examples at ​http://api.jquery.com/unload/ since I suppose all browsers will follow the Chrome behavior.

Thanks for the report! As axl.jq said, it's a documentation issue, not the jQuery one. I reported it there: ​https://github.com/jquery/api.jquery.com/issues/388
