There truly is no way to stop the user from closing the browser.

However, you could potentially write some javascript, which would open up a new window when the user leaves the current page (aka closes the browser, clicks on another link).

This would be a bit annoying to your users, and also would probably be blocked by Pop-Up Blockers.

But it is somewhat possible.

you cannot really stop it, but if needed you can warn the user that session informations or whatever will get lost....

<html>
<script type="text/javascript">
var isdone=false
</script>
<body onbeforeunload="if(!isdone) return 'Do you really want to close!';">
</html>

The answer is simple and is similar to this one:

You can't & you shouldn't.

Whatever your problem is, the solution lies elsewhere.

You can't, and you shouldn't be able to. How would you feel if StackOverflow were able to prevent you from closing your browser?
