Disable Modal Window Close?

JP
Is there a way to temporirly disable the X button (close) on a MODAL window
in the web browser? We have cleanup code that needs to run after the user
closes the modal window. This works fine if the user closes the window via a
button I have placed on the page. If the user tries to close the window via
the "X", then popup blockers potentially pervent then cleanup window from
executing.

Right now, clicking the X fires off the ONBEFOREUNLOAD java event. Maybe, is
there a way to trap when the "X" is clicked and notify the user to close
using the button instead.

I know you can do this on a Windows form, but I need to do it from browser
windows that are MODAL windows.

Can a Modal Dialog Box do forms ASP.NET forms validation from within the Modal Box?

Hi! I'm working on a web application in Asp.net and what I would like to have is a cross borwser modal dialog which accepts user's input. I would like to catch what the user clicked on the dialog. To be more specific I want to have a confirmation dialog that is shown when a user clicks on a Delete button (which deletes some values from database). If Yes is pressed the delete action is processed otherwise modal dialog is closed.

I've seen many posts discussing the options we have when using modal windows within a web based application. Often times it seems the greatest hurdle is simply getting the modal window to post back to itself. It appears that most of these threads where this was discussed have been archived, so I'm bringing this topic up again to offer a couple suggestions on this topic. I noticed that most people use the concept of posting to an iFrame. I...

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,...
