Javascript is ideal for trapping the browser events and when combined with rails, it works quite nicely.

You do not want to use Javascript because of limitations on your client browser? or because you do not want to write Javascript yourself?

If the latter, with rails, there are helpers that allow you to do this easily withing your rails code.
