detect window closing

[fayna]

hello,
i'd like to perform some actions when my window is closing or reloading, but I don't know how to detect these events, is there a way to do it?
thanks

The events are onunload or onload of the body tag.

well, to detect resizing just use window.onResize
I do not know how you can detect window closing. --------------------------------------------------

wood,
don't those apply to the document? like, if a person goes to a new url in the same window, the onUnload will be fired?
I thought that she asks how to detect when the actual phisycal window is closed.
Hmm, may be I misundrestood. --------------------------------------------------

thanks wood, thanks valeriav!
the method onunload works for me because i need to close a child window when its parent closes. i know the parameter 'dependent' for 'open' but it doesn't do anything and the child remains opened.

onunload works for changing pages and actually closing the window.
