Netscape will not call the onUnload() event when the browser
is closed by clicking on the "X" button in the top right corner of
the browser window. Netscape will call the onUnload() event if the
browser window is staying open but going to another URL.
Does anybody know if there's a way to make Netscape call the
onUnload event when closing browser?
Call the Netscape developers and have them change this
behavior in their
browser! Or can one do this themselves, I forget is the
Netscape
browser open source now?
Of course once this has been done, you will need to get all
the current
Netscape browser users to upgrade to this new version so they
can access
your website the way you would like it used.
It depends on the version of NN you are using and how you are
using it. In 4.2 and earlier you could not capture the onUnload at
all. In newer versions you actually can.
BUT if you are trying to use alerts in the script they will
not work because they can not open before the browser closes and
thus canceling the alert call.

That's what I meant. Even in Netscape 7, I can't get the
onunload fire when I close the browser by clicking the "X" button
in the top right corner of the browser, neither does
"onbeforeunload". Any suggestion?
