Hi All,
Is there any way to detect that the user is trying to Xout the browser
window instead of hitting a button. Because in my application I want to
make it sure that they dont do it either knowingly or accidently.
Its an ASP.NET application with C#.
Thanks

You may be able to take advantage of the client side OnClose event.

Thanks for your reply. But I tried it and it doesnt work. actually
there is no onclose event in javascript for window object. I also found
this discussion on a forum http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread431659.html
but they also dont have a concrete answer to how to implement it.
if anybody encountered the same problem please let me know.
thanks

I don't think you can stop someone closing their browser window, you can only
do something such as pop up a new window if they do. Think how iritating it
would be if websites could stop you closing the browser.

The truth is, there is no way to do this. The Mozilla object model supports
it, but Internet Explorer does not. It only supports "onbeforeunload " which
fires any time the *document* is unloading from the window, including, but
not limited to, when the window is closed. There is no existing standard for
it, so as to whether there ever *will* be an "onclose" event in all
browsers, your guess is as good as mine, and I'm not guessing.
A browser will never behave the same way as a desktop application. You can't
prevent people from either accidentally or intentionally closing their
browser. In any application, it is impossible to prevent people from doing
absolutely anything wrong, and closing an application isn't wrong. At a
certain point, you have to expect the user to assume a certain amount of
responsibility for what they do. And that's a good thing.

Thanks for so many responses. I am completely agree with Mr.Spencer
that user should take some responsibilitie s that how to use the
application. But ask me, I work in a mortagage company and the loan
agents cant even follow that if some field is required (I show the
error message near the control that its required by using validation
controls) then they wont be able to submit it. They come to me and saqy
"its not working".After so many instructions and training sessions I
put the validation summary which pops open in front of there eyes and
now they can understand it. I think we should design our applications
by assuming that its gonna be used by monkeys and you cant control
their behaviour.
As far as the solution to the problem is concerned what Patrick has
told me it works but now the problem is that I have some controls on
that form for which AutoPostBack property is true. So even if the user
selects a radio button from radio button list, the page post backs, and
before that it gives you the same confirmation box. I only want that
confirmation box when the user is clicking the X button.

Hi,
I have the following question:
I have an app that uses user login/logout to identify users
When user logon, I register logon time in a session variable
When user logoff using the logout link, I also register logoff time and
update accordingly the logging history table.
However user can simply close the browser without logoff, so his session was
closed.

I want to use onunload to capture user's action when he
clicks on the "x" button to close the browser. Here is how
I do this:
<SCRIPT FOR="window" EVENT="onunload">
myScript();
</SCRIPT>
While myScript() does get called when "x" gets clicked, it
is also get called when the user leaves the current page
and navigate to another page within our web application.

I want to detect, if user has close the browser, (after logging to my site),
that user has closed the browser. How to achieve it ? I want to know this
close action on my server-side code. Because if he logout by clicking on
Logout/ Sign-Off button it simple to get the message.
Although, this is very similar to the first above. Also, if user takes any
action on client-side or browser side how will I detect...

I have read all posts about how to detect that url have changed to new
page and trigger the event handler then eg.
function aidLogout(evt) {
if(evt) {
/* maybe via analyse of evt object i can detect the close of the
browser window */
}
if(window.event) {
/* maybe via analyse of window.event object i can detect the close of
the browser window */

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).

I am trying to get a way by which I'll know exactly when user goes out
of my site by clicking on close button in browser, So that w/e user
click close button in browser, I can send a signal to server.
This seems to be achievable with body unload events, but it is little
too much, as even if user navigate within my site, this event will be
generated, this can be avoided by handling onclick of each link, so

I'm working on a web app that under normal circumstances will be happy with the Session_OnEnd event, but when a user leaves a page by closing the browser by either Alt+F4 or just hitting the "X", I'll need to kill the session.
Now, with the onbeforeunload event, I can handle this quite easily in IE, but in FireFox, it's another matter. For one thing, FireFox seems to empty out its event object on a page unload, so it's very hard to track...
