How to detect in a javascript function that the page is about to postback

Hi all,

In my ASP.NET application, I am trying to detect in a javascript
function, which is triggered by the event onbeforeunload, that if the
window is getting closed beacuse its a post back or if the user has
clicked the X button of the browser. Is there a way in javascript to
know that a postback is about to happen i.e. the user has clicked a
button (asp.net control).

thanks

there is no supported method. the most common trick is to check the mouse
coordinates, they will be negative for the close button.

How can I detect when a link has been clicked but the new page is still in the process of loading? The document.location.href property still displays the current location (understandably) not the one that's about to load. I have a page that reloads every 30 seconds in order to access live data. If a user clicks on a link just prior to the page reloading the reload takes precedence over the link click and this is annoying for the users....

I posted this on the asp.net group, also. I wasn't sure whether this was an asp.net problem or a javascript problem. I have a page that was originally created from a program I found on the net that works well as an html page. It brings up a modal popup window that I have been trying to work out for days now and this was the closest I have been able to come. I added a little asp.net code and an asp.net button and cannot get it to

Hello, I've been trying to detect when a user closes a page or navigates away from it. This is part of a solution for locking pages (that is, if a user enters a page, no one else can enter it while he doesn't leave). I'm using the window.onunload event to trigger the unlocking of a page, but I don't want the page to be unlocked when a postback or a refresh occurs...I only want it when the user goes to another page or closes the...
