I understand, but it is better than what I
have running now (no detection of browser closing). As for your problems:
- At lease it works in IE which is the majority of browsers
- It worked for be when the X was clicked or the url
was changed
If you figure anything else out, please
let me know. And Thanks for your help.

Closing message
Not sure of that. I do know that clicking OK will
leave browser open and cancel will close it. I tested this script
yesterday and here are some problems with it:
1)
It only works in IE. OnBeforeUnload is not a W3 compliant event. It
is a Microsoft event that few (if any) other browsers support.
2)
It doesn't really work that well in IE. In my test yesterday, the only
time the event was fired is when I clicked the "X" in the corner to
close the browser. Going to File->Close did not trigger the event, nor
did a button I created that used window.close() to close the window.
These
are probably security measures put in place to prevent malicious _javascript_
from doing something before you close your browser. For instance, without
such measures it would be possible to write a script that would totally prevent
you from closing your browser.
Very nice – are we able to check to see if
they choose the OK or Cancel button?

Oggetto: Re: [Easy400Group] IE Closing message
That message should only appear if you use a _javascript_ to close the main
browser window (ie...the window that opened when you clicked on the icon on
your desktop/start menu). Any child windows that your web site creates
should not give that message when you use .close(). Since that
message is a built in security feature to alert a user of possible malicious
_javascript_, there is no way around it.
To sum up, you should only use _javascript_ to close windows that your
application has opened using _javascript_.
How do i get rid of the following IE message when i close a window with
self.close() or window.close():
( The webpage you are viewing is trying to close the window. Do you
want to close this window (Yes / No ) )
