My requirement is to detect whether the browser is closed or refreshed or navigated(forward/back)

I am using window.onbeforeunload but it triggers for every click (even buttons,links). To suppress that I used this code to prevent its call on button clicks

$(document).ready(function () {
    $("input:submit").click(function () {
        window.onbeforeunload = null;
    });
    $("input:image").click(function () {
        window.onbeforeunload = null;
    });
    $('a:not(a[href^=javascript])').click(function () {
        window.onbeforeunload = null;
    });

});

But now I need to distinguish between browser close and navigation or refresh. How can I achieve it?

Edit

I am doing some logic in my window.onunload event. For that I have a variable whose value needs to be assigned based on browser close/ navigation.
