want to detect browser close event?

Question

Answer 1

Go the other way around: when you receive the Unload event, send the server a message that informs the user is about to disconnect. The server waits for some time and then automatically disconnects.

Then, if the user click cancel and stays on the page, you send a message to the server to inform that the client is still alive.

The downside is that, if the user waits too long to click cancel, he might be disconnected.
