I need to monitor when the user moves away from a page (to a different site not the same site) or closes the window/tab. I can achieve that with $(window).bind('unload', function() {}); but onload is a catch-all event: it also catches page refresh and navigating to a different page on the same website. How can I detect those two events (page refresh and navigating to another page in the same website) using javascript/jQuery please?
I think that isn't possible, I don't know such an event.
A possible solution is to compare the current url with the destination url but that's not possible because of security and privacy reasons see:
How can i get the destination url in javascript onbeforeunload event?
