Is there a way I can prevent the browser window from being closed? I'd
like to make sure the browser window only closes programatically (I want
to make sure the user enters data before moving on).
Another possible solution would be to re-open the window when it's
closed.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

This is the web. You can't force the user to do anything. Make the
application robust enough to survive the user doing the unexpected.

Actually, It's not for an internet application. I'm building a thin
client application. It's a call center application, and when a contact
is closed, they are supposed to enter data. Problem is, because it's a
browser, they can just click the X mark and close the window, which
leaves the contact waiting for data to move to another state. If I
could pop the window back up and request the data again, that is
acceptable, but I haven't yet figured that out.

Gee thanks... I thought that's what I *WAS* doing...

supose your funtion to send your data is
function sendData(){ blah blah ; DataOk=1;}
var DataOk =0;
</script></head>
<body onunload="if(Da taOk==0) sendData();"
Would works with IE

Would this prevent the window from unloading? Or would I have to handle
that someplace else?

You need to properly handle that on the server end since you also have to
deal with contingencies like the client machine crashing, the client
machine losing power, or a network outage, all of which could result in no
data being entered at a particular state in the application.

Yes, the server side needs to be addressed as well (as you note, clients
purposely closing the window isn't the only issue...) but the big
problem is call transfer. When there's an outage, the switch drops the
call, but when the client closes the window, the call is in limbo on the
switch...

If its browser based, then its as good as.

where the application is the code you execute on the server, not on the
client which is beyond your control (at least if you use a normal web
browser).

that would launch your function about your state data
after closing the window
with IE it could (sometimes) works if IE is closed
(doesn't work on an alt+shift+del or alt+F4 )
to re-open the window try :
function reBack(){
open.window(sel f.location);
alert('You have not completed the Data question');}
<body onunload="rebac k();">
or
<body onunload="setTi meout('reback() ',200);">

Take care you will never more can quite this page !
You have to fix a conditional before
<body onunload="if(!m yData) reBack();">
*myData* would be a global variable
myData = false;
changed to "true" by your function about your Data

I have a form which the user must complete before closing. I have
disabled the window x button and use my own exit button. When selected
it checks to see if the user has completed the entries otherwise it
cancels the close.
However, the user can still right click on the task bar and close my

Is there any way of preventing this.

does anybody know the JavaScript the guys at Microsoft used in MS CRM to prevent people from closing a browser window and asking them (on the client) what they really want to do? If you don't know what I'm talking about take a look at MS CRM. Open a form, make some changes and try to close the form without saving first. Instead of closing the form you will be asked if you'd like to save first or discard the changes. I have often...
