Description
I have this simplified code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$(window).unload(function (){
alert('disconnect');
});
});
The jQuery method should work in all jQuery supported browsers.
The alert works in Safari, Chrome, FF on Windows
The alert is not poping on working in Mac FF, Opera, IE8.
The alert should pop up before closing the window.
I also put an example online.

This is broken again. It is not working in Google Chrome 17.0.963.46. It works in IE8 and FF 9.01. I haven't tested any others.

The variable would seem to be Chrome's new version then, please report it to them (with a test case of course) and it'll be fixed in 6 weeks or less.
This works for me with jQuery 1.4 in IE8. The unload event doesn't fire on the back button, but this is true even if you assign to window.onunload so it's not a jQuery issue.
