disable x button on internet explorer

hi all.

I´ve a problem with x button on internet explorer. Some users fills an
informative form, they push x button and i don´t save the information.

How can i disable the x button on internet explorer?
I could a close window button and i could save the information when the
users push this close button.

Thank you.

Regards, Charlie.

Hi Charlie,

Why not tell the users the X means 'close the window'?

You are trying to 'fix' something that isn't broke.

Educating them is by far the best solution.
You don't change the design of a car because somebody don't know that he

The X means: close the window. If they don't know that: tell them.

save your data ?

I agree with your reply.. Users should be educated about this and these
kind of requirements cannot be fulfilled.
