window close event

[abhay]

Hello all,

I want to trap the window.close() event when the user clicks on the
close button of the browser using javascript.
Can anyone shed light on this problem ?

Thanks in advance.

regards
casper

Can't be done consistently across browsers.
In IE, you can use the proprietary "onbeforeunload" handler to
do something before the window is closed. You can even request
that the window is not closed, by returning a string. That string
is shown to the user, who can then decide whether to close the
window or not.
