It isn't possible to prevent reloading the page, but it is possible to help avoid the page being refreshed:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <body onunload='window.close();'> // will close window on leaving page or reloading
  2.  
Be aware that the user will probably be prompted about whether or not they wish to close the window, and if someone clicks on a link the page will close.

There aren't any very efficient ways of doing what you want.

I hope I helped :)

You can use onbeforeunload (non-standard, but supported by a number of browsers). Its best use is in web applications where by going back/reloading, the user will lose all their unsaved work.

Something like a php function that can be called? I have php in a page that needs to be update periodically (basically poll results) without reloading the page around it (I do have a button you can click). Is this possible? Or should I make some sort of Iframe with the php page in it that could be reloaded. The php code basicaly just writes a table to the page with the results of the polls included. Thanks for the help.

I'm building an ASP page that has a lot of text and graphics. There is a calculation facility on the page. The user enters several numbers in a form and presses a button to see the calculated answer. The problem is this: when the user presses the Calculate button, the whole page is reloaded and, on a large page, this is very noticeable. Is there any way that I can get the calculation done and the result displayed without reloading...

Hi all, Here is my issue. I have a web page (lets call it page1) with an iframe in it that then opens a pop-up window (page2). The pop-up window is used to edit some data that was loaded into page1 so I want to use onunload to reload page1 to keep the data synchronized. At first I was using just window.opener.parent.location = window.opener.parent.location;

Overview: 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,...
