I have been trying to implement a functionality when the page refreshes. I figured that value of

    window.performance.navigation.type 

turns 1 if the page reloads else, it is 0. I created an alert message on page load and the values are correct for IE and Firefox but it remains 0 for Chrome throughout no matter how many times the page reloads. I have also tried windows.onbeforeunload as per other stackoverflow answers but nothing seems to work!

How do I resolve this?

OR

Is there another way to detect a page reload that works on all the browsers?

Thanks!
