How to run code when a web page closes?

[Guest]

I need to check that certain data fields has been saved to a SQL server when
a user leaves a web page (one way or another i.e. by clicking the X (close)
button or the Back-button or...). I don't want to save data at each field. Is
there a page_close ala page_load you can use for this?

Nope, no page_close
What you normally is hook into the javascript onbeforeunload event...open up
a new window (popup) which onload does wha tyou need it to do.

This should get you started:
