Response To a Javascript

ank2go · July 9th, 2004, 04:40 PM

Hi ! :)

I need your help.

I have a log Off buttons that calls a javascript to close the browser:

Page.RegisterStartupScript("Log Off", "<script language='javascript'>javascript:window.close();</script>")

However, b/c it was not created from windows.open, I'm not able to disable or remove the confirmation.

So, is there a way to trap the response in my log off button

Or is there another way to close the browser ?

Thanks in advance !

Closing the browser without confirmation:

Basically this set an opener to the current window, which allows you to close it without confirmation.

Thanks Snib, you rock !

Please let me ask another question; it's part of what I'm doing.

If the user doesn't click on my 'Log Off' feature, and clicks on
the 'X' of the browser, is there a method or an event that gets triggered?

I know that you can include in every page:

<body onUnload="somefunction()">

But this is client-side, I need to update my db.

Thanks for your replies !

I have encountered this before and usually do this: create the onUnload event handler, which calls a function to open a window which updates your database. The new window then closes.

<body onUnload="openDBWin()">
<script language=javascript>
function openDBWin()
{
window.open('update_db.asp');
}
</script>

__update_db.asp__

<%
'update database here
%>
<script language=javascript>
window.close();
</script>

HTH,

Hi Snib.

Hope you had a good weekend.

You mentioned that you've encountered this before, so do you know that the fresh (F5) with trigger the javascript?

How did you handle this, if you don't mind answering another question?

Thanks again !

I had no way to avoid this behavior.... perhaps the following code will work?

document.onkeydown=function(){handle_key;};

function handle_key()
{
if(event.keyCode==116)return false;
}

Let me know,

Hi Snib, thanks for trying to help.

I guess it still executes ONUNLOAD event.

I don't have any more time to work on it, but what I have is good.

Thanks again !

OOPS I messed up in the code I posted. Fixed now, try it again.

HTH,
