Capturing the object that fires the OnBeforeUnload event of the window

Marlene A. Roma #1 / 6	Capturing the object that fires the OnBeforeUnload event of the window Hi!! I hope everybody is doing ok. I'm developing an application and I need that the user select the Logoff option from my Main Menu before leave the application, so I'm trying to send a message when the OnBeforeUnload eventof the window fires, letting the user now that the procedure to follow is select the Logoff option from the Main Menu. My Problem is that this event fires not only when that user select the close button of the browser or enter a new URL, it fires even when the user is navigating in my application an is requesting a new page. So I was trying to capture the object that fires the OnBeforeUnload event with the window.event.srcelement, but I haven 't made it work in the way I want. If someone has an example of this, or know where can I look for it, please let me know. Thanks in advance for any help. Marlene Arauz Martin WDS

One word: Frames. But you'll need to ensure that links to external pages will be targeted to "_top", not to "_self". :: "Ekevu Guepardo" :: :: Acinonyx jubatus :: :: Porto Alegre, BR ::

Tim William #3 / 6	Capturing the object that fires the OnBeforeUnload event of the window You could try setting a flag whenever the user clicks on an internal link, then checking the value of the flag in your unload function. If it's set, then just exit the function without any action. <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> <!-- var gFlag=0; function chkUnload(){ if(gFlag==0)alert("Please use...."); Quote: } //--> </SCRIPT> <A href="nextpage.asp" onclick="gUnload=1;">Next Page</a> Tim.

Ekev #5 / 6	Capturing the object that fires the OnBeforeUnload event of the window \| Can you be more explicit???? What is that I need to do with the frames?? All you need to do is create a parent frameset and a child frame. As the user navigates on your application, in the child frame, there's no onbeforeunload event at all. But the parent frameset DOES have a onbeforeunload event. When there is a link to an external page, it will be <a target=_top href=whatever>, which means the parent frameset will have its onbeforeunload event fired. And, when the user clicks on your logoff link, you will erase the onbeforeunload event for the parent frame. window.parent.onbeforeunload = null; :: "Ekevu Guepardo" :: :: Acinonyx jubatus :: :: Porto Alegre, BR ::
