    window close event

    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.
