You can use
window.onunloadto find out if a user is leaving a page/closing a window/closing a tab.But there is no way to really find out if a user has left your website. He might still have another tab or window opened.
So your only real solution is to check how much time has passed since the last activity from that user. And if that has to happen live, you could add an ajax-like callback to poll the server every minute or so to be sure that the user still has his window open.
