Close box

Guys I have a log out button, and I need it to sign off the user, at the same time I have a session that sign off the user automatically when timeout. but I still need to stop the user from closing the browser through the close box, so how can I do that?

Hi Zaghmout!!
offcourse you can do it at some level.
I tried it for IE ,hope this will help you.

Plz let me know if u have other choice
<html>
<head>

<script>

function closeSession()
{
//capturing ALT + F4
if (event.altKey==true && event.keyCode==0 )
{
   alert("closed1")
   return true
   }

//capturing close bttn
Xwidth=window.document.body.offsetWidth-window.event.clientX
YHeight=window.event.clientY
if(Xwidth<=30&&YHeight<0)
{
   alert("closed2")
   return true ;

}

}
window.onbeforeunload=closeSession

//or we can use body(unload) method

</script>

<script>
function fwd(field){
var val=field.value;

alert(val)
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<select id="myPage" onchange=fwd(this)>
<option value="1">one1</option>
<option value="2">one2</option>
<option value="3">one3</option>
</body>
</html>

Cheers :)

thanks vinod, I tried it and it worked, but the problem is if the user was as stupid as I imagin he will be, he will press ok without reading the message, and that will close the browser :s

so is there anything i can do about that?
