It is not possible using Javascript to detect a browser close event as compared with a page change or refresh. In any case, what about people with Javascript disabled?

The window object has an onclose (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.onclose) event, but it seems to be not supported by any browser until now.

Such a reference (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536907(VS.85).aspx) must be of interest to the author of the topic. (See example at the bottom of that page.)

To be pedantic, onclose is not an event, it is an event handler. The respective event would be named close. However, there is no such event in W3C DOM Level 2 Events (or the Working Group Note on DOM Level 3 Events),

Sad thing is pop up blockers will block it so no one will see it anyway. We are not living in 1999 anymore. :)
