I had a similar problem.. and someone told me to set a cookie, something about the 
cookie will disappear when you close the browser and you can do things based on if the 
cookie exists or not. Hrmmm... I found a work around to my problem tho.

Can you not just use an exclusive lock? or set a timeout on the locking of the db?

Subject: [cfaussie] how can i control the close button on a web browser


i have teachers collarbrating online however some of them click the 
close button before submitting.

I have got a script going so when the teacher goes to the update form 
the activity becomes disabled in the db so other teachers cant modify 
the same for at once however i am relying on the fact that they hit the 
submit form to ensure the activity becomes active to the next person to 
modify it.

how can i control close button at the top of the browser sooo...

if close button hit
make activity active
end if

pleas help!
