No way to detect if page is refreshed. Why do you want to do that? I guess you were thinking of this as a workaround to your original problem. If you would describe your original problem, maybe you would get a more appropriate solution.

my problem basicly is that I wanna kill a session when the user leaves my page, but if I do it onunload it is killed also if he just refreshes.

Is this for an ASP application?
There is an old thread that discussed about that ASP session problem.

There is a trick to detect the user clicking the browser's X button which I presented in that thread but I admit that it's not a fool-proof solution. The bottom line is, you can't really do a graceful logout if the user just closes the browser because there is no request to the server that tells the user is logging out. Although the Session_OnEnd handler is still fired but only after the session timeout is reached.
