You'll have to attach an AJAX call to the onbeforeunload event. Though, be warned:

For Javascript there is no discernible difference between reloading, navigating away from the page, or closing it; Everything you do that causes the current page to be removed/redisplayed will trigger the event!

Christian, why ?

It's not a server side issue, using an Ajax.

I don't get it your logic, can you explain me, please?

Sessions are stored on the server. More specifically, the data in a session is stored on the server. Generally, the client has only a cookie to identify what session it is using.

 

The server does not know anything about what happens on the client (the browser) until the browser sends a request. Generally, closing a tab or window or the entire browser application does NOT send any kind of request to the server. So, if you want the server to destroy the session on a page close, you have to send a message to the server. The only facility for doing that is to use AJAX in the beforeUnload event.

 

However, as Christian F. said, this event will be triggered when moving from one page to another on the same server; probably even on a hard refresh (F5 / CTRL-F5) of the same page. So, it is really not a good candidate for clearing the session.
