I need to capture an event which should be triggered just before the content of the iframe disappears.

I have been trying to accomplish something like this

$iframe = $('iframe');

$iframe.beforeunload(function () {

  debugger;

});

OR

$iframe = $('iframe');

$iframe.unload(function () {

  debugger;

});

I have even tried binding it to the iframe window itself without any luck

$iframe = $('iframe');

$iframe[0].contentWindow.onunload = function () {

  debugger;

};

None of these eventhandlers actually trigger for me

and I am quite confused why. To reload the iframe I use .reload() from outside the iframe and from within, maybe I need to use a different method?

Figured it out! I didn't know the contentWindow looses its reference after a reload.

$iframe.load(function () {

  $iframe[0].contentWindow.onbeforeunload = function () {

    debugger;

  };

});
