Is there a way to detect if the user has pressed the refresh button using jquery or javascript?

Question

I want to know if jquery or javascript can detect if the user has pressed the refresh button of their browser? If so can I see an example?

Answer 1

Well if you are looking to detect if user press F5 or ctrl+ f5 then you can use following code :)

$("body").keydown(function (e)
{
   if (e.which == 116 || e.which == 17) {
     inFormOrLink = true;
   }
});
