If a user wants to close a window, they will close the window. If the only way to close a window was a close window button, this would be possible. That little X in the extreme top right cnr of your browser is out of our control using ASP - try this in a techo js forum, it's probably possible.

you can use this example:

            var sFeatures="dialogHeight: 150px;";
            sFeatures += "dialogWidth: 500px;";
            sFeatures += "center: yes;";
            sFeatures += "edge: sunken;";
            sFeatures += "help: no;";
            sFeatures += "scroll: no;";
            sFeatures += "status: no;";
    win1=window.showModalDialog("Test.htm", "", sFeatures)

I did think I understood the question. I am of the understanding; no matter what window has focus, or not. The X (window close button) can not be disabled. Am I incorrect? I remain intrigued

I didn't know that, so I had to try! :)

Code:

<html>
<head></head>
<body onload="window.showModalDialog('index.html','','');"></body>
</html>

Try this simple code! I actually works as a modal dialog. Cool.

You can check out DynamicDrive.com. They have a couple of modeless window scripts that you can demo.

Great, I will try it - nice little feature.

A related question if I may:
Once a window has rendered, has anybody found a way to tweak its properties. This another thing I have, thru trial and error plus word of mouth asumed not possible. (Eg.after the asp runs, tweak properties then render html)

I am aware you can run something like:
function openNewWin(pageURL, pageName, width, height, top, left)
    {
          newWindow = window.open(pageURL, pageName,"width=" + width + ",height=" + height + ",top=" + top + ",left=" + left + ",scrollbars=0, resizable=1,toolbar=0,location=0,status=0,menubar= 0");
          newWindow.focus()
    }
then start rendering. Or do the properties HAVE TO be set before any of the page code runs
