Browser help needed

This forum post relates to this article

Hi,
when a user accidentally click close on the browser to close it, i want to prompt him somthing. How do i do it. window_onunload(),window_onbeforeunload() will oso be activated when the user click refresh. how do i solve this.

i think if you put onbeforeunload() in the body tag that should work. then you can run a alert window or a popup window via javascript

hi,
it wun help either. onbeforeunload and onunload. both will be triggered on refresh of the page.

Unfortunately they are the only two even handlers that you can use to work out whether a user has "closed" the browser. The window object might provide a function to determine whether they left the page or closed the browser, try to history object as well.
