Javascript, Can I “redirect” user in onbeforeunload? If cant, how to

Question

Is it possible to redirect to another page when the user closes the browser?

Attempts:

1. I tried onunload, does not work

   window.onunlo         
   
   
           

Answer 1

It's not without it's faults but it works

window.onbeforeunload = function(){
        window.open("http://www.google.com","newwindow");
        return "go to google instead?";
}

This will open a new window as a popup to the address you selected when the user closes the page, though it is limited by any popup blockers the browser may implement.
