I was considering the onFocus method, I was going to suggest letting the popup pass a variable to opener. when successfully closed and then opener.onfocus check this flag and force a submit if not successfully closed.... But... What if a user simply Alt-Tabs through their open apps and revisits the opener when half way through amending their page on popup, it'd release the activity when half way through editting. So... You could onfocus of opener check for the existance of the child window and the status of the flag and make the decision then?
But I don't like the thought of that myself! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rod Higgins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CFAussie Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 12, 2004 11:42 AM Subject: [cfaussie] RE: how can i control the close button on a web browser > > Here is an easy one > > > > if your running a popup window, put an onFocus on the opener window which > > targets an iframe and unlocks the content item or what ever. so it doesnt > > matter if they actually close it, as soon as the main window gets focus it > > will unlock the item > > > > Steve > > What if your user base is using Netscape 4.x browsers (or even just a > small percentage of it)?
