jQuery's .unload fires on load in AngularJS

Question

I need to use jQuery's .unload() inside AngularJS:

My Controller

$(window).unload(someHandler());

var someHandler = function() {
  console.log('handled!');
};

My View

<section ng-controller="UnloadController">
</section>

The event is fired upon unload, but for some reason it is fired on load too. I am guessing this Angular messing something up?

You are invoking it with the () when you pass the function in to the listener.

Try passing it in without invoking it.

$(window).unload(someHandler);

I'm an idiot. Thank you! I'm glad that is all it was.
