Check if window.onbeforeunload has been triggered by a page refresh?

I have a function like this to prompt the user to confirm they want to navigate away from the page:

window.onbeforeunload = function() {
   return "You may lose any unsaved changes.";
};

Now I'd like to check whether this is a just a page refresh (F5), and not render the message in this case. Is this possible?

Thanks

Nope, that's not possible, there is no way to find out if the refresh button of browser was pressed.
