Hi all, I am using a script not unlike this below to open a new page when the client closes the browser:

Code: 
<body onLoad="closing=true" onUnload="if (closing) window.open('thanksForVisiting.html');">

The below code has been added to links to ensure the window does not open when navigating.

Code: 
<a href="nextpage.htm" onClick="closing=false">Click to go to another page..</a>

The problem I have is that when the user refreshes the browser the same function is carried out, is there any way to determine a difference between a refresh and a close window.

I have looked for an onClose event but I believe it does not exist.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers LazyTrucker.
