Hi,
I'm not sure if this question should go to the "JavaScript " section;
but I'm open to non-JavaScript (like VBScript) options too. So, I'm
posting this here.
I have the following problem:
For my application, I need to ask a confirmation when the user closes
the browser-window. If the answer is positive, I would like to log-off
the session and close the window. If the answer is negative, I would
like to stay back (no logging-off, no closing the window).
I can't do this in the window.unload event because the window is
already closed when the unload event is fired. I tried doing this in
the beforeUnload event. But the beforeUnload event gets called even
when I refresh the page and in that case, I don't want to ask this
question or logoff.
Can somebody help me in the above scenario? Please...
Thanks,
Benny Varghese

Yes, I can help you...
I had exactly the same question here some months ago, and with the
help of a lot of the regulars in this group we came to a conclusion:
Forget it! It can't be done in any reliable way!
I'm sorry.
Your best bet is a session timeout on the serverside.

Hi,
I need a test so I can determine whether a url points to a text file or to a
binary file. Actually, I need to distinguish between streaming files and
metafiles (e.g. asx files). I tried getmimetype, but that does not seem te
be reliab;e (dependent on the web server configuration). Can anyone help?
The test should be something like:

I want to use file_get_contents, which according to the documentation
returns FALSE if it fails. However, it also fails if I read a file of 0
bytes in size.
So I tried to use filesize to check first. Same problem, I seem not to be
able to distinguish between a filesize of 0 bytes and FALSE.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi all,
I've been experimenting with Python CGIs, and more recently mod_python.
The FieldStorage class used by Python's cgi module and mod_python's
utility library allows form data sent by a user's browser to be easily
accessed, but doesn't appear to provide any method of distinguishing
between data sent by POST and data sent by GET.
Coming from PHP, where these two types of input are available in
separate $_POST and $_GET arrays,...

Hi All,
I have a control derived from UserControl. Now I would like to
distinguish between a click and a double click event on my control. The
problem is, that on a doubleclick, the control raises the click and the
double click event. According to the documentation, that is the default
behavior.
I tried to change that by setting using Control.SetStyle with
StandardClick and StandardDoubleClick(in every combination), but the

Hi,
I've noticed that IE have different security approach when loading a
page from an inner intranet or when loading a page from the web.
Is there a way in Javascript to know when your page is running by an
outsider and when by an insider?
How the browser knows?
Thanks!!!

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,...
