In this article I will explain with an example, how to disable

JavaScript onbeforeunload event handler
The
JavaScript onbeforeunload event handler is executed before the page is unloaded i.e. when page is redirected or submitted to the server.

HTML Markup
The following HTML Markup consists of an HTML INPUT Button and an HTML INPUT Submit Button.
When HTML INPUT Button is clicked nothing happens but when HTML INPUT
Submit button is clicked, the
JavaScript onbeforeunload event handler is executed.
Inside the
JavaScript onbeforeunload event handler, a FOR loop is executed over all HTML INPUT elements and the HTML INPUT elements of type
button or
submit are made disabled.
Note: HTML INPUT Button was added only for illustration purposes and when HTML INPUT Button is clicked the page is not redirected or submitted hence you will not experience the Buttons being disabled.

<input type="button" id="btn" value="Button" />
<input type="submit" id="btnSubmit" value="Submit" />
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onbeforeunload = function () {
var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName("INPUT");
for (var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++) {
if (inputs[i].type == "button" || inputs[i].type == "submit") {
inputs[i].disabled = true;
}
}
};
</script>
</form>
