Any button on page to run a session save?

Question

I have a form that needs to be submitted on all button presses or whenever a user leaves the page, is that possible if so how?

"a form that needs to be submitted ... whenever a user leaves the page" - that is just incredibly bad design and user experience, why do you need this? — kalatabe, Sep 29 '16 at 08:45
I would rather implement AJAX to do this. Then you can - maybe - show a "Closing application.." or something when user leaves page. You can do this by binding an AJAX call to the 'onunload' Javascript event. — Jan Willem, Sep 29 '16 at 09:17

Using jquery to detect if a user leaves the page. https://api.jquery.com/unload/

    $( window ).unload(function() {
         //call your function here that executes the form
         return "Handler for .unload() called.";
   });

using jquery to detect button presses.

$(document).on('click', '.buttonCLass', function(){
 //code here
 })
