Hi !

I want to trap the event, when my browser window is getting closed (via the top right X). Based on this I'm doing a certain tasks.

regards,
rpathy.

I think you can trap the event when the page unloads by saying <body onunload=&quot;... but not sure about just the browser through the x button

also should be able to do it via:

function doStuff() {
// stuff here...
}

<body onbeforeunload=&quot;doStuff();&quot;>
