Hi Jason,

That's because you can't know this. If you disagree, answer this question:

When the user has read the page you send them to in the browser, and 
uses the browser to read another page, when do you want to get your signal?

Now, please don't answer it here, because you can't :) I doubt the 
browsers offer it when the user goes to facebook or whatever, so the 
only thing you can see is when it's closed. For my use, that could be 
hours after the application opened the browser.

What you're asking for is somewhere between useless and impossible. Sorry.

Bo Thorsen,
Fionia Software.
