    Hi,

    I want to alert a message when the user trying to close the browser's window [like in gmail]. Can anyone help me?

    <script type="text/javascript">

    var myclose = false;

    function ConfirmClose()
    {
    if (event.clientY < 0)
    {
    event.returnValue = 'Any message you want';

    setTimeout('myclose=false',100);
    myclose=true;
    }
    }

    function HandleOnClose()
    {
    if (myclose==true) alert("Window is closed");
    }

    </script>
