sorry mate i don't think i explained it...

i have a pop up form that sets active = 0 in the db
when the form is submited active = 1 window closes this works

however teachers tend to just close the window using the browser window close hence active never = 1 and locks people out till i reset it...

Hey Rob,

If I understand you, you have a button which closes a pop-up window with a
"self.close()" and you want to runan update before closing?


Try this...

First up, change your button to be a submit not a close, and submit it to a
new template like this...


<!--- new template --->
<CFQUERY etc etc >
   update query to make activity enabled here...
</CFQUERY>

<HTML>
  <HEAD>
    <SCRIPT>
       self.close();
    </SCRIPT>
  </HEAD>
</HTML>

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!
