But it doesn't tell me *why* the unload is occurring. That's my problem.
The onunload event fires if a new URL is loaded, if the current page is
reloaded, or if the browser window is closed. I want to differentiate
between a page reload and a browser kill.
I doubt that it's possible to detect the difference, but I'd sure like
for somebody to show me otherwise.
