Onunload and onbeforeunload are called when refreshing or closing. They can be specified through window.onunload in the <script> script or specified in <body>. The difference is that onbeforeunload is executed before onunload, and it can also prevent the execution of onunload. <br>Onbeforeunload is also called when the page is refreshed or closed. Onbeforeunload is called when going to the server to read a new page, but it has not yet started reading; while onunload has read the new page that needs to be loaded from the server.
