Webmaster Forum / HTML, CSS, Scripts / JavaScript / November 2005Disabling the close button
All, How can I disable or remove the close button in the screen. thanks > All, > > How can I disable or remove the close button in the screen. > > thanks You've been asking this question in various guises several times. The answer is still "you can't". If you think your application requires this functionality, you have misunderstood the environment that your application has to work with. You will therefore either have to redesign your application to work within those limitations, or choose a different environment that lets you do what you want (such as creating an application that's not browser-based). (Even if you could remove the close button, how would your application deal with, say, a forced-quit of the browser?) -- Joakim Braun > How can I disable or remove the close button in the screen. Neither can you nor should you (attempt to). Name the reasons why you think this is necessary, and you will probably receive numerous replies why it is not. PointedEars You may use javascript function attachEvent: function window.onload() { window.attachEvent("onbeforeunload", Close); } function Close() { return 'Are you sure you want to close my lovely window?' } If you think the anwser helps you, please show your support by visiting my website: http://www.logicwebsolutions.com > You may use javascript function attachEvent: > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > http://www.logicwebsolutions.com Perhaps just the following? <html> <head> <title>closer.htm</title> <script type="text/javascript"> function closer() { alert("This window is about to close."); } </script> </head> <body onbeforeunload="closer()"> </body> </html> If you do not have other functions to handle this event you approch is fine. BTW, you shoud use return instead of alert; by using return, the page will stay if the user clicks Cancel button from the popup window.

However, I am not sure whether selecting "Cancel" would also prevent closing the window. PointedEars > You may use javascript function attachEvent: attachEvent is neither a JavaScript nor a JScript function. It is a method of the IE(4?)

SignatureRandy comp.lang.javascript FAQ - http://jibbering.com/faq & newsgroup weekly Javascript Best Practices - http://www.JavascriptToolbox.com/bestpractices/ Hello all thanks for your replies but actually I want to describe the situation here: I'm opening a popup window from another popup and i don't want the user to close the parent popup as long as the child is still opened. I've thought about making the child to be modal screen but how can i do that?? > James said the following on 11/29/2005 1:25 PM: > [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > comp.lang.javascript FAQ - http://jibbering.com/faq & newsgroup weekly > Javascript Best Practices - http://www.JavascriptToolbox.com/bestpractices/ > I'm opening a popup window from another popup and i don't want the > user to close the parent popup as long as the child is still opened. > I've thought about making the child to be modal screen but how can > i do that?? You do not, that would only make your app less interoperable (IE only). Returning a string to onbeforeunload is probably the best approach here. Let the user decide whether or not the window should be closed. > [top post] <URL:http://jibbering.com/faq/faq_notes/pots1.html#ps1Post> PointedEars Use JavaScript function: window.showModalDialog > Use JavaScript function: > > window.showModalDialog which is not a JavaScript function and is IE-only, so don't. PointedEars > All, > > How can I disable or remove the close button in the screen. > > thanks Since others could not convince you, here's a solution you can attempt: 1. Learn a programming language 2. Create your own web browser application 3. Create a method in which you can remove / disable the close button via script. Simple, huh? |
