Question is clear, I need to make an ajax call when user clicks on browser close button, but before closing the window.
Any possible solution for this?
I dont need any confirmation box etc. just a trigger for ajax and then close the window.

2I've tried making a synchronous AJAX call when the window closes, and sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. It seems browsers don't like JavaScript code that blocks a window from closing, except for cases like `alert` or `confirm`. – Greg Burghardt Dec 10 '14 at 18:15

@GregBurghardt : so you say there is a chance for doing alert? I tried to do alert but it comes with confirmation box, and an error in console says alerts before onunload event are blocked :( – user2398514 Dec 10 '14 at 18:19

An answer from How to show alert message when closing a window? should work here:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onbeforeunload = function() {
$.ajax(...);
}
</script>
