How to pop up message on closing web browser

Question

I need to find browser close button click event in my web application. I need to show some alert message on that event. I tried to do it using window.onbeforeunload event, but it gets called on every page navigation or page refresh I need to execute that function only on close button click event

Have you tried onbeforeunload? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6622461/how-to-capture-browser-close-event-in-javascript — Ricky Nelson, Sep 16 '13 at 11:10
