How can i attach a Event when the Window close button is clicked?

Question

"beforeunload" or "onunload" event also executes when page is Refreshed. But i need to attach a Event Handler that perform only when user press the "Close" button of the Window or Tab. Is there any way?

Short answer: not possible, there is simply no such event. – Shadow The GPT Wizard Feb 16 '16 at 08:20 — Shadow The GPT Wizard, Feb 16 '16 at 08:20

I guess you need to do that with onclose event:

window.onclose = doSomthing;

[`onclose`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/close_websocket) doesn't seem suitable ... – Teemu Feb 16 '16 at 08:42
@Teemu i was referring to this [onclose event.](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/GlobalEventHandlers/onclose) – Jai Feb 16 '16 at 08:49
