onunload not firing?

Kourosh

I'm using IE6 and I've just created a simple page with this event:
<body onunload="alert('sad')">
could someone tell me if this works for you if you have IE 6? I've
tested this in firefox and IE 7 and they both work fine with it. but on
the IE6 copy I'm testing, the event is fired only when the page is
refreshed. It's not fired when I close the page.
any ideas or suggestions?
thanks in advance

On my IE6, this works fine:

<html>
<body onunload="alert('sad')">
</body>
</html>

If I add an MOTW to suppress the security warnng, it still works fine:


<html>
<body onunload="alert('sad')">
</body>
</html>

Maybe you have disabled scripting in the browser somehow?
