Javascript onclose event

Question

How can I run javascript when user close the browser. I tried to use 'onunload', but it calls every time I press F5/refresh button? Thanks

As far as the Javascript on the page is concerned, there's no difference between closing the browser, navigating to another page or refreshing the same page.

nickf is right though - attaching an event to onbeforeunload or onunload will trigger on closing, refreshing or navigating away. – John Strickler Jun 27 '11 at 14:21

My guess is that even though your answer is correct, it disappointed the OP greatly. – John Strickler Jun 28 '11 at 15:09
