Adam Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 On 3/2/2013 at 6:40 PM, holden321 said: window.oncloseThe window close event is not part of any standards, and so doesn't have great support across browsers. It's not recommended for use. The window unload event is standardised, however again it shouldn't be used except for in exceptional circumstances, as browsers can't cache the page when you use it. I don't think this is what the OP is after anyway.

haku Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 The simple answer is that you cannot, as javascript runs in the browser, and if the browser closes, there is nowhere to run the javascript. That said, there is server-side javascript as well, so theoretically something could be done, but I really doubt that is the answer for the OP.
