Reset div when navigating away from page

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 18.2008

Hi Guys

I have a div tag which shows up when an unknown error occurs with an ajax request. What I want to do is when I click on any of the menu links to navigate away from the page the div tag should disappear.

The current method I am using is a call to a function which resets the tag. The only problem with this method is that I have to call it on every menu link so that [B]“if”[/B] the div is active it is then reset. Is there a more efficient of doing this?

@DokSep 18.2008 — Depends on what you mean by navigatin away. If you are actually leaving/reloading the entire page you can use the onbeforeunload event - but that seems rather pointless as you are in fact destroying the entire page so the need for hiding the div is gone anyway.

If you mean that you are replacing some content through using Ajax without actually leaving/reloading the page then I it depends on your design. If you have some standard function for doing the Ajax calls you can have the function for hiding the div there.
