I can and usually achieve this by placing a close window button. Is there a way to achiever this after the user clicks IE's red X?

Please note : I am coding in a strict IE 6.0 SP2 SOE using Classic ASP

Hi Matt!!
<script>

function closeSession()
{
 //capturing ALT + F4
 if (event.altKey==true && event.keyCode==0 )
{
  //alert("closed1")
window.close();
if (window.opener && !window.opener.closed) {
window.opener.location.reload();
}

  }

Xwidth=window.document.body.offsetWidth-window.event.clientX
YHeight=window.event.clientY
if(Xwidth<=30&&YHeight<0)
{
window.close();
if (window.opener && !window.opener.closed) {
window.opener.location.reload();
}
}

}
window.onbeforeunload=closeSession

//or we can use body(unload) method

</script>


Hope this will help you


Cheers :)

Doesn't onbeforeunload fire for *every* request, killing your session every time you browse to another page?

You could do this in a parent frame, as that's likely to be unloaded only when the entire application is closed.

Hii Imar!!

You are right,It was my mistake ,i had given wrong function name for this example.
Actually I had written this code to track the session end time for one application and when question was found in forum i just put it.I know it's bad programming practice ,i will take care abt this.

Cheers :)

What negative impact functionaly should I see?

It seems to be working without noticible issue. It is in place to update the dynamic details of the parent which was updated via a form using a child window.

Hi Matt,

It depends on what it does. If all you need to do is refresh the parent when the window closes, you're pretty safe.

However, people often use this method to call something like Session.Abandon() because they think it only fires when the browser is closed, not when the page unloads. If you do that, you'll find that your session gets killed on every page, resulting in a new session every time.

But again, on rereading your original post, I'd say you're safe.
