使用页面刷新按钮或f5重定向到手动页面刷新页面

Question

I want to redirect user to Google whenever he clicks on the browser page refresh button or press the f5 key

I write this code but it's not working fine:

window.onbeforeunload = function(){
        location.href = '<?=$szLinkURL?>';
             return 'are you sure you want to leave?';
}

I want that if I choose yes, then only I will be redirected, else stay in the same page.

Also, if only refresh button of the browser is clicked, then only the script will run; it won't run when the back button or forward button will be clicked.

Answer 1

window.onbeforeunload = function(){
     window.setTimeout(function () {
                     window.location =<?=$szLinkURL?>;}, 0); 
     window.onbeforeunload = null; 
// necessary to prevent infinite loop, that kills your browser }
