Is there a way to detect if the reason an onUnload()
handler was called originated from the user explicitly
refreshed the page(s)?
Ie. pressed "Ctrl-R", "F5" or klicked the refresh button
in the toolbar or the context menu?
I'm aware that I can not stop a refresh, but the reason
I want to know is that I have a hidden frame in an intranet
application. This hidden frame is present at all times after
the user have sucessfully logged in (to our db).
So the only time this frame is closed is when the user
navigates away from the intranet app. At which point I want
to log him/her out.
I do thid With an AJAX call in the unload-event of the hidden
frame.
*BUT*... This leads to logging out if the user presses "F5",
or in other ways refresh the window, since a refresh reloads
both frames.
So I thought that if I could detect that this was a refresh in
progress, I can avoid logging him/her out.
PS!
I only need this to work in an IE-only scenario.
TIA...

Not possible to know how it was loaded, only that it was loaded.

Use a session variable on the server. Never rely on the client.

IFrame gets unloaded, user gets logged out.
IFrame gets reloaded, user gets logged back in.
Have the IFrame check, onload, to see if the user is logged in. If not,
refer them back to the login page. It won't take many refresh/relogins
for them to stop using the Refresh.
So I thought that if I could detect that this was a refresh in
progress, I can avoid logging him/her out.
Can't distinguish.

Doesn't matter.

Now, that was encouraging... ;-)
Ok... I drop that path then, and consentrate on the serverside.

I have a jsp page that updates information as a user enters form
fields. It's part of an AP system where a user can select a category,
and then it refreshes the page, pulling relative info into other form
fields.
The issue we have is that closing the window with the closer does
not clear out buffered info. We have a "close" button that will do
this. I tried doing an "onunload" to call the same function as the
close button, but since...

I now have graphics being drawn in the Paint event of my form (yeah, and
it's very cool). Problem was that it only updated any changes to these
graphics when Paint was called.
So, I then made it so the Refresh() method of the form was called for each
graphic object. In this case it drew just fine, but Paint was being called
so often I lost control of the form (e.g., trying to close the form using
the close 'x' in upper right corner...

the UA string to pretend to be another browser (most often IE).
Shouldn't it be considered as a trademark violation of the relevant

probably will have some serious legal problems. "Mozilla" partially

I have a class that maintains a static std::list of its instances.
Thus, due to the order of constructors ambiguity of itself and
std::list, it cannot be safely instantiated until after main is
called. What I would like to do is put in an assert if it is
instantiated too early, but unsure how to detect this case. Or perhaps
there is a better design for instance tracking?

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,...
