I want to trigger my bootstrap modal when user tries to close the browser. I am trying to do it with below code but doesn't seem to be working.

window.onbeforeunload = function(e){
    $('#myModal').modal('show');
}

If it is not possible then how can I trigger it on closing or clicking the back browser button? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm afraid that you can't. Even the facebook uses the native alert box, so imagine if they are not able to do it who will be? – Marvin Medeiros Apr 22 '16 at 11:50
