Catching the browser close action

[Fawad Ali]

Hi All,
I want to catch the browser close button action. Let me explain the scenario first. When a user clicks on the close button of a browser, I want to send an ajax call to set his loginStatus to false in the database. I can do it with the js event of onbeforeunload, but that has too many problems. The biggest being, when I navigate to some other site say google.com, it will set the login status to false, but then when I click on the back button, the session should remain there (ideally), but its logged out.

Any ideas on how to hunt for the solution?

This has been discussed dozen and dozens of times. Please search for previous discussions. The bottom line is that there is no way to determine when the browser has been closed.
