The unload event fires when the document unloads, but a document can
unload for many things not just closing. Furthermore, some browsers don't
fire the unload event during closing, which makes it an even more
unreliable approach.

If the user is closing their browser, it is generally too late for you to
be doing anything. What are you trying to accomplish? There might be an
alternate way.

You don't have to.

There is no standard compliant one that works cross-browser.

Refactor your server-side application, if you use any; do
not nag your users, if you do not. The latter is illegal.
