Subject: [Dynapi-Help] OT: window destruction detection?


This isn't a DynAPI specific question, but maybe somebody here can
help...

Is there any way in Javascript for a document to detect whether it's
being unloaded because the user is going to a new URL, or because he
closed the window?

I'm hoping to be able to call a "logout" function on my server if they
close the window, but not on a regular document onunload event due to a
new URL loading. I was hoping that the window.closed property would
work, but it doesn't seem to get set until after the window has been
"fully" destroyed.

Does anyone know a way to detect this?
