Use jQuery to replace <body onunload="GUnload()">

When using Google maps it’s important to use GUnload on the page’s unload event. Fine when you can access the body tag directly…. But if you have the Google map functionality wrapped inside an ascx you need a different approach.

After a big of digging I found how to use jQuery to “catch” the unload event. In case anyone else needs it:

$(window).unload( function () { GUnload(); } );

    Does
    $(document).unload( function () { GUnload(); } );
    do the same trick?
