I too have this requirement, I've been able to use both
onUnLoad, and onBeforeUnload() to catch the request to
leave the page, however I havent been able to distinguish
between page reload/postback and going away from the page.
I figured if there was a way I could know what the new url
was, I'd be ok, but doesnt seem that information is
avaliable at the time hte unload event is fired off.
If you find any more information on this... please do post
it here.
Thanks
