I have been at this for hours now. Pulling my hair out.
I have a standard php page that has an onunload event on it. The
onunload event sends a xmlhttprequest that triggers a database update,
for simplicity lets say it updates a table:
UPDATE testtable SET testfield = '".$_GET['rand']."' where id = 1
This works just fine.
Then the next page you navigate to is supposed to call the testfield
from the database and it should display the newly updated value. It is
not. If you refresh the next page again you now get the correct newly
inserted value.
Does the onunload event prefetch the next page prior to executing the
onunload function???
Anyone have any ideas?? I cant find anything in the archives about
this.
Thanks.

My guess is that the SELECT statement from the second page is received
a few milliseconds after the UPDATE statement.
You could loop the SELECT until it gets 1 result, (also limit it to
like 20 tries or something so it doesn't go forever)
i have an alert statement after the update on the initial page so that
is not the issue as i can see that the value is being updated
correctly. but the next page still has the old value.
it is very strange.

Is there only one link that goes to the next page, or can a differant
function be run when x is clicked, then have the function forward the
person to the next page after the XMLRequest Success code is returned?
If this works, then it has something to do with the onunload event.
I figured out the issue. when onunload is executed the browser has
already called the new requested page (it has not rendered it yet - but
it has put it in its memory). therefore the value is still the old
one.
I guess we are back to the drawing board.

Please don't top-post either. It makes following a conversation difficult.
onbeforeunload isn't talked about a lot because of support, or lack of,
for it in different browsers.

This error occurs ONLY in Netscape 7.0. Not in 7.1. So, I think it's a

I'd like to test for Opera8.00's missing setRequestHeader method before
