Send ajax request on browser window closed

Question

I want to send an ajax request only when the browser window closes not on refresh or reload. I am using this code.

DisplayExit = function() {  
     simpleAjaxReq("formatter_main.php",'file_close' , 'true');  
};
window.onbeforeunload = DisplayExit;

This works when closing the browser window but also execute the code when the page reloads, is there a way for this code to only works on close not reload.

How is this answered, the question you are directing me towards is also using the same function which also fire when i refresh the browser i wanted to limit it to only when the browser window is closed. — Siyad Nijah, Jan 22 '19 at 02:18

You need a function onload as well to disable it similar to below sample

     window.onload(function()
       {
     response.sendRedirect(url);
        // or     
         simpleAjaxReq("formatter_main.php",'file_close' , 
          'false');
         }
