Disable the X in the Browser

Mike Nooney

How do I disable the "X" in the upper right hand corner of my Web Page.
This is not for a windows form, but rather a web application. What I really
need is to stop the user from unloading the page, if certain data is not
present on the page. I know I should not use the Page_Unload event for
this. I wouild like to disable the Close Button, or putting some extra
validation behind a certain event, which event I am not sure. Any help
would be appreciated?

Forget about disabling the user to close the browser, it's not going to
happen. But if you tell us why would you want to do that we might be able to
offer you some solutions.

You can't disable the X button without making the page fullscreen, and even
then they can alt+F4 or ctrl+W the page.
You can't keep them from closing the page, but you can warn them with a
client script

<script for=window event=onbeforeu nload language=javasc ript>
if(!YourValidat ion)
event.returnVal ue="Your Warning";
</script>

This will pop up a dialog warning them they are navigating away from the
page because of some reason, but you can't keep them from closing a page.

Hi, Does anybody know if it is possible to suggest to the browser to NOT offer 'remember values' in forms on a page? And if so: how? ;-) I have this situation where a page has a lot of buttons that fire some events, and also sometimes submitting a form. The pop-up is quite annoying.

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
