Calling Logout on closing my browser window

want to call my logout servlet if someone hits browser close button.
I tried all javascript combinations with onUnLoad() window.close() etc but nothing wrks as these events gets fired even on refresh and changing the locationof the url.

I was giving up when i saw the implementation in citibanks website. If anyone has account with citibank then u can check it out.
I tried to look into the view source but coulnd't make out anything..

any ideas will be highly appreciated ..!!!

One way to do this is to use frames with all of your pages in the site contained within one master frame. You only call the logout script when the frame is closed.
