Capturing new requests in a HTML page

How can I capture a new request (e.g. link click, page refresh, etc.) in an html page?

Let's say I need to do some stuff when user decides to go to another page or refresh the current page.

Look at the the window.onbeforeunload and window.onunload events

You can also capture any link clinks easily [jQuery sample]:

$('a').on('click', function() {
     // do your stuff

     // follow the link
     window.location.href = this.href;
});
