Closing module mechanism

Is there a way to do the following:

If a user closes the module at any time using the "X" of the window --> redirect to another URL.

Also I have a jscript inside my storyline that stores the userID, is there a way to have that as a parameter in that URL that I am redirecting?

    Hi RonLinder-4c1a3 if you are saying the "x" on the browser window, I don't think you can then stop that action and re-direct to another URL. If you are suggesting that they close "x" on browser Window 1, which then re-directs browser window 2, this should be possible using JavaScript "onbeforeunload" event listener in Window 1.

    Note: Window 2 would also need to be controlled by Window 1 in this instance (for example launched by it), in order for it to allow any script in Window 2 to affect it.

    It would also be possible to get the userID and use it as a parameter in the URL:

    const player = GetPlayer();
const userID = player.GetVar("userID");
const url = `https://abc.com.au?userID=${userID}`;
// You'd need to adjust this for the browser window you are targeting
document.location = url;
