what specifically for? If you want to run a function when the page is unloaded, you could you the OnUnload attribute in the Body tag.
But remember OnUnload event is called the user closes the browser as well as when the page is refreshed or the user moves to another page leaving the current page.

I need to call the function when the user will click close button of the browser.
scenario is: if the user is logged in into the website. & if he doesnt logout & clicks the close button of the browser, i need to trap the event.

It can't be done. The only option is onunload. And that is not what you are after.
Closing the browser (all instances) will kill any sessions so that may solve the problem you have regarding logging out.

so what would be the work arround??
Educate the people using your site to use the log-out button that you also include in your page. And that is the ONLY solution.

Another alternative, works with older browser:
In your main window:
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script>
<!--
var WinMon;
function OpenMonitor () {
WinMon = window.open ('monitor.html','monitor',
WinMon.opener = window;
WinMon.OpenerAlert ();
}
function OpenerCheck () {
alert (self.screenTop);
if (WinMon) {
WinMon.OpenerAlert ();
}
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="OpenMonitor ()" onUnload="OpenerCheck ();">
</body>
</html>
In the pop up "monitor.html":
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script>
<!--
var TimeoutID;
function CheckOpener () {
if (opener.closed) {
alert ("Opener is Closed");
clearTimeout (TimeoutID);
}
}
function OpenerAlert () {
TimeoutID = setTimeout ("CheckOpener()", 100);
}
//-->
