Well, you can use "ONUNLOAD" to retrieve a 1-pixel image or so from the server (with the SID attached to the request, of course) to an IMG tag on the page, but this is unreliable for many reasons: (1) user may have Javscript disabled or may at any time disable it; (2) the browser/computer may crash; (3) the user may disconnect from the Internet before closing the window; (4) the user may just walk away; (5) others. So if you want a quite unreliable method, that could do it.
