Can I "redirect" user in onbeforeunload? If can't, how to?

Is it possible to redirect to another page when the user closes the browser?

Attempts:

1. I tried onunload, does not work

   window.onunload = function redirect(){...}
   

2. I also tried another method, it doesn't work either:

   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?? Maybe prompt to let user select whether to redirect to new page when he/she close the browser? I'm running out of ideas...
