Thanks for all the help... while we're still on the subject, I need to take this a step further. I can now put up a alert box asking the user to please logout of the system instead of closing the browser. That's fine, but after the alert box, I want to stop the window from closing.
Is this possible? If so, how? And yes, as Scott said, I'm lucky enough to only have to worry about MSIE 5.0 and above.
