Killing browser event...

[Mel]

i have a popup window and need to execute a script of mine right before
closing.

i tried something like: onUnload='doit( );' and nothing gets called when the
user clicks
on the X (kill) button on the browser

can someone help ?

thanks

There is not way to do that consistently across browsers.

Exactly.

In IE, you can use the "onbeforeunload " handler. That is called
*before* the window is closed, and can even request that the
closing is cancelled (although the user has the final word).
