Handling IE Close Event

mahulda · August 9th, 2004, 12:15 AM

Hi,

How Can I trap the event where the User Clicks the Close button
at the top-right corner of the Internet Explorer.

i.e I want to generate a message ("Do you Want to save your Data"). when the user clicks the close button.

write your code somewhere like Session_End or Dispose methode in your Global.asax file

The only way to do this is to utilize the <body> tag's onUnload attribute:

<body onUnload="confirm('Do you Want to save your Data?');">

However, you can't actually stop the window close from happening.

Furthermore, the "onUnload" event will fire on any event that causes the document to unload:
- Clicking a link
- Changing the address in the browser manuall
- Closing window
- Forward
- Back

In body tag code: onbeforeunload="MyUnloadCheck()"

function MyUnloadCheck() {

event.returnValue = "You may have unsaved data ..."
}

The browser will display :

'Do you want to navigate away from this page?'
'You may have unsaved data'
'Hit Ok or cancel'

If you do not return a value in event.returnValue property,
browser will not display the message.
If you want to conditionally return a value if the page is dirty, create a new function on the fly after detecting it is dirty, as follows:
document.body.onbeforeunload=new Function("MyUnloadCheck()")
