Deprecated

This feature is no longer recommended. Though some browsers might still support it, it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes. Avoid using it, and update existing code if possible; see the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to guide your decision. Be aware that this feature may cease to work at any time.

Non-standard

This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.

Summary

The onclose property of the WorkerGlobalScope interface represents an EventHandler to be called when the close event occurs and bubbles through the Worker.

This non-standard event handler was only implemented by a few browsers and has been removed from all or nearly all of them.

Syntax

self.onclose = function() { ... };

Example

The following code snippet shows an onclose handler set inside a worker:

self.onclose = function() {
  console.log('Your worker instance has been closed');
}
