Handle Browser close in JavaScript?

How to detect a close of a browser using JavaScript or jQuery, I got the window.onbeforeUnload and $(window).unload() of JavaScript and jQuery respectively, but that even gets called on leaving of page,and etc... but I need only and only the close event, nothing else and only that.

There is no reliable way. I have a solution that detects the user mousing up to the top right direction close button — mplungjan

alert("...or refreshing the page or going to a link"); Your answer does not answer what the poster wants. [which is impossible]
