Merennulli said:Thomas said:Not understood. I have never mentioned `onunload' regarding this, I
recommended `onsubmit' (instead of `onclick'). `onunload' code is
executed when one navigates away from the document or the window is
closed. That does not help here because you cannot re-enable the
controls later if the Back feature is used. There is no event to
handle this, at least no interoperable one that I know of.
As I said: "so while the user is going forward it fires, preparing it
for when they come back."
My purpose in mentioning an "onunload" alternative is clear, even
without reading your prior post. Onunload fires as the page is being
exited, [...]
.... or the window is closed. However, one cannot expect that full DOM
access is still possible at this point, so this approach is flawed.
There is no policy statement here of how I should post. [...]
There is. said:[...] rather than dismissing my response as "not wanted". Needless
abrasiveness such as that "not wanted" is what kills online user
groups.
It is of course not your response that is not wanted on Usenet,
and I never said that; it was merely your _posting style_.
