If the user has closed the browser how can you then navigate them? There is no way of knowing when the browser or tab has been closed as no event is raised for it. If you had done some basic research and googled this question you would have discovered that for yourself.

This cannot be done, at least not perfectly. Most browsers only allow you to popup a message when the user is trying to close the window. But you can't prevent the window from closing.

You can use javascript code to wireup an event:

JavaScript

$(document).ready(function () {
    window.onbeforeunload = WindowClosing;
});

function WindowClosing()
{
  return "Bye bye";
}

This message will also display when you navigate from one form to another while my requirement is to display this message on on browser close event.

As I said, this cannot be done perfectly.
