you can call function on onUnLoad event of the body.
<body onUnLoad="winUnload()">
but be aware this event also occur when you refresh or submit the winow.

You might also want to read up on onBeforeUnload. In the handler for this event you can warn the user and give one last chance to stop the window from closing.
