I've try this:

<body onunload=LogoutNoAsk();> </body>

and the function is:

function LogoutNoAsk()

{

    alert(Please press the Logout button to logout.);

    parent.close();



}

When I press close which is the 'X' button on the top right of the window, it close straightaway without the warning message. What's wrong?

You're actually wanting to use the onbeforeunload event which allows you to block the close event.

See the MDN reference for details, but the code required would be:

window.onbeforeunload = function(e) {

    return 'Please press the Logout button to logout.';

};
