I have a form which holds a close button. I need to know that if there is any way that I can force the user to only close the window through that close button. Behind the button I have called java script "window.close();" after some of my own stuff. My problem is that the user can also close the window through the right top "X" button of browser. Is there any way I can disable or somehow make it non-working? That way I will be sure that the page is always closed through close button provided on the page. Any help will be appreciated.

No, you cannot disable the X button, as that is part of the application. Why do you need them to use the button?

I need to do something similar by intercepting the X button event.

I have a shopping cart in a web site i did.
When the user adds something to the cart (and does not buy it) the available stock level is meant to be decremented. Which it does.. BUT if the user clicks X then that decremented item remains as so, and does not get put back into the available stock....
I tried doing something in the global.asa file in the Onsession_end etc but still no joy as the close of the page was overiding everything....

i tried an onunload thing in the body tag but i needed it to open a new window to do some ASP stuff, but most people now have popupstoppers so that killed that idea. i need to to an asp/javascript thing... a javascript function that is called by the unload event,but asp coding within the javascript function....

Actually i have the same problem. So if you find a way please let me know ([email protected])

I've put a workaround in using a session file which records what the user has in their cart and i tried to use onsession_end to back out the stock but you cannot do any database stuff in global.asa to what i do is maintain a user count and if it is one then i do some housekeeping and also at a certain point in the site the system checks to see if there are any old session records lying about and clears them up. I set an application to prevent more than one person doing this.
