Hello, I have this code to detect when user close browser with 'close button of window'.
Works fine for me, but I have found if browser is close from taskbar then javascript is not execute.

Can Javascript recognize closing from Windows taskbar?

JavaScript

var myclose = false;
        function ConfirmClose() {
            if (event.clientY < 0) {
                event.returnValue = Do you wish to leave?';
                setTimeout('myclose=false', 10);
                myclose = true;
                        }
              }
        function HandleOnClose() {
            if (myclose == true) {
                location.replace('/contextpath/j_spring_security_logout');
                window.open("logoff.aspx")
            }
        }

Thanks in advance for help!

~~event.returnValue = Do you wish to leave?';~~
Missing tag there on the string: event.returnValue = 'Do you wish to leave?';

FTFY

ClientY = Returns the horizontal coordinate within the application's client area at which the event occurred
ClientX = Returns the vertical coordinate within the application's client area at which the event occurred

@Maimonides:
I think I have delete tag when I have copy/past code, and was changing alert message. In any case, code inside of my applications has tag.

Hi,
solution was found it, which was test it with IE, Firefox, and Chrome. Only thing which developer should do about testing with Firefox, and Chrome is to turn off Blocking Pop Up option under browsers settings.

<pre lang="Javascript">
window.onbeforeunload = confirmExit;
        function confirmExit() {
            return "You have attempted to leave this page?";
            
        }
        var newWindowOpen;
                function openPopup() {
            newWindowOpen= window.open("URL", "", "");
        }
<script>
