I am building a website with chat etc. The problem is I cannot correctly define if someone is currently on the website which cause I cannot set their activity.
I wrote a function which is invoked by the body tag in HTML file <body onl oad="changeStatus(true)" onunload="changeStatus(false)"> but as I said it seems not to work.
When the status of the first users sets to the online value, the second one immediately changes to offline. When I try to type something in the input on the website it also changes the status to offline, it doesn't matter who is typing.
I am currently thinking of writing this part in PHP just using the session, but maybe someone knows how to do this in JS?
function changeStatus(event) {
if (event) {
db.ref("status/" username "/" receiver).set({
act: "online"
});
} else {
db.ref("status/" username "/" receiver).set({
act: "offline"
});
}
}

Are you trying to determine if the page has loaded? If so then a simple jquery document load on will do that
https://learn.jquery.com/using-jquery-core/document-ready/
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script>
$( window ).on( "load", function() {
console.log( "window loaded" );
});
//or
$(function() {
console.log( "ready!" );
});
</script>
if your trying to capture if the user is on the page then mouse over or mouse click might be better
https://api.jquery.com/mouseover/
I hope this helps

It sounds like you're trying to build a presence system, in which case I recommend checking out the Firebase documentation on managing presence, how onDisconnect works, detecting connection state and the sample presence app.
