Is it possible to redirect to another page when userclose browser?

Attempts:

  1. I tried onunload, does not work

    window.onunload = function redirect(){...}
    
  2. I also tried another method, it does not work as well:

    window.onbeforeunload = redirect(){...}
    
  3. <body onbeforeunload="return false; redirecty()">

The 3rd method, i want to cancel the onbeforeunload (means delay closing the browser), the I call the redirect function, window.confirm, if yes redirect, if no then close the browser. But it does not work as well.

Is there any other way?? Run out of ideas...

-- Prompt to let user select whether to redirect to new page when he/she close the browser --

This is the first time, I could not get best answer in stackoverflow :(
