Browser Close Event

[bsm]

Hi,

I have googled for my issue in this group. This question was asked
many times and many solution was given. But I want clear cut solution
for the issue.

The issue is:

I tried to capture the browse close event by using
Body onunload=fn1() statement and it is working fine.

I have one Parent and child window.
My req is to close the child window when I click -X- buton in IE. It
is also working fine. (I wrote condition in Unload event of the parent
page).

But when the page is postback (when I click one button) the unload
event fires and it closes my child window automatically. But I want my
child window should not close this situation.

How this can be achieved.

Thanks in advance.

Then have the button you click set a parameter. The fn1 function would
check that parameter and either close or not close the window.

<button onclick="closeWindow=false;someFunction()">My Button</button>

function fn1(){
if (closeWindow){window.close()}else{
closeWindow = true;

}
}

I will leave it to you to figure out why the closeWindow=true is in the
fn1 function.

Thanks, I understood why you have given closewindow=true. I am
developing dotnet web page. there i have used this technique. When I
click IE "X" button. it fires well. But When I click any button. It
fires Page_OnUnload event automatically. That's my issue.

Totally irrelevant.


Which technique?


The unload event?


Then there is code somewhere calling that function.

From Javascript point of view this snipet is fine. Let me post this

issue in dotnet group.

Thanks a lot Randy.
