You can *if* the user is leaving via a link on your page --
<script type="text/javascript">
function inform(e)
{
alert(e.target.parentNode.href);
}
document.onclick=inform;
</script>
</head>
<body>
Next I'm going to <a href="here.html">here</a>
</body>
If they leave by typing something in the address bar, you won't
know where they're going, but your onunload routine can at least
determine that the unload wasn't preceded by an onclick event.
HTH!
