Regrads, Abha In my application I want user to take an "Exit Survey"(Independent website) when he is leaving the application. As name explains, It should happen only when user closes current browser tab or browser window. Its possible using JavaScript OnUnload event. But the problem is that this event occurs on 1. close of browser tab 2. close of browser window 3. click of any internal page link(i.e anchors and form buttons) 4. click of browser's Refresh button 5. click of browser's Back/Forward button I have handled first 3 cases but not able to detect Refresh and Back/Forward button click. Has anybody of you implemented such functionality?? Thanks in advance!!! Hi, I am new here, it's nice to meet you guys. I am writting a javascript that need to force the user to close the current browser and then restart automatically again after some operation. Here is the case : The user will retrieve a file from the server and save it in the local drive. After that, the browser will automatically open the .pdf saved with the browser(IE) but not Adode reader. If the user wants to update the previous saved .pdf in the local drive, they will need the user to close the opened file(saved .pdf) so that new updated .pdf can be replaced to the old .pdf file. So, I need to implement a function that force the browser to close, then copy and replace the old file, then reopen the file(new and updated) again. Is there any possible way of doing this ? Please provide me some idea. I have tried to look for informations online but I just got no luck. Failed with the coding provided. Thanks in advance. P/S : The file need to be closed in order to replace it with a new one. The platform using is Windows. Hi! I need to open a window when: 1 user leaves the site 2 when the browser is closed. I tried the 'unLoad' event but it works only for the user leaves site case and not the browser close. Here is the code I tried: <html> <head> <title>Detecting browser close </title> <script type="text/javascript"> function doUnload() { myWin= open("exit_site.php", "exitWin", "width=50,height=50"); } </script> </head> <body onunload="doUnload()" <h4>Close browser!</h4> </body> </html> Neep your help, please Hi folks, I've got a chat program which relies on a column in a MySQL database to see if he/she has logged out or not. But if you close the browser window, the computer still thinks you're online. I wrote this in the JavaScript section cos I think it would definitely need Javascript. So any help for updating the database in any way? Thanks!! Lucas Hi, i have an popup which is an aspx page and when i click on browser close button..., the system should check if there is any unsaved data in the form or not. If there is any unsaved data then the message should be displayed (Do you want to leave..?) with OK and Cancel button... On click of the OK button, the data should not be saved and the user should be returned parent form ie popup should be closed and return to the parent form.On click of the cancel button, the control should return to the Pop. I had tried the below code... window.onbeforeunload = close; function close() { var result=confirm("Do you really want to close this window"); if (result) { return true; } else { location.href = document.URL; } } The above code is not working ie the popup is getting closed even on click of closse button.... and when clicked on OK it is dispalying another msgbox with leave this page and Stay on this page buttons... Please help me regarding the same... i used the code window.close(); it works well for Internet Explorer but it not worked in firefox Hi, I need to display alert when I close the browser window. Now I am using the following code to display the alert. But the alert is getting displayed even I click on any links. But the alert should not displayed when i click the link. If you have any solution, please let me know. Thanks in advance. This is my code: <HTML> <head> <script> function closeIt() { return ""; } window.onbeforeunload = closeIt; </script> </head> <body> <a href="http://www.test.com">Click here to navigate to www.test.com</a> </body> </html> We have a testing application that displays a timer on the screen using Javascript. It seems to be working very well. However, someone brought to my attention today that if you click-and-hold the browsers close button in the upper right corner (the X button in Windows) that the timer will stop. You can then slide your mouse cursor off of the button, and the browser will not close, but the timer was stopped for the entire time that the button was being held down. This also works for the Minimize and Maximize buttons. Is there any way at all to take care of this problem? Thanks, Jesse Is there a way to capture the event of the user closing the browser??
The topic of event handler management has been covered in many places in the past. One location is in the contest by PPK. The winning submission by John Resig has a few problems, and the commentary on the site seems to gravitate to the implementation by Dean Edwards after the analysis of the Resig code. I was also able to find a few more implementations on stackoverflow from: Bill Ayakatubby and Marco Demaio. Outside of the JavaScript frameworks, what is generally done for supporting event functionality? There are numerous options each with their own benefits and drawbacks. I'm uncertain of which one to use myself. Is there an undeclared de facto? Hi I am trying to develop a Qwerty Shifter http://www.cross-browser.com/toys/qwertyshifter.html by handling keyboard events.

I am trying to find a script that allows you to open multiple browser tabs and then close each of those tabs, either one by one or all at once. Does anyone know how to do this please? Thanks so much for your help. Hi forum, I am trying to attach an event to a dynamically produced button, and then use stopPropagation and preventDefault. Code: function chapter12_nodeOne() {
//create an element
var element = document.createElement('input');
//set some attributes
element.setAttribute('type', 'button');
element.setAttribute('value', 'submit');
element.setAttribute('id', 'myBtn');
//appendd the element into a DIV
document.getElementById('myDiv').appendChild(element);
//uses EventUtil to attach an event listener
EventUtil.addHandler(element, 'click', function() {
alert('event attached');
});
var flag = confirm('prevent default behavior of button?');
if (flag) {
var el = document.getElementById('myBtn');/////////////////////////(1)
var ev = el.onclick;
}
}
var EventUtil = {
addHandler: function(element, type, handler) {
//check if the element and the browser support DOM Level 2 event attachment
//if the user is not browsing with IE
if (element.addEventListener) {
element.addEventListener(type, handler, false);
}
//if user is browsing with IE
else if (element.attachEvent) {
element.attachEvent("on" + type, handler);
}
//if user is using a browser that only supports DOM Level 0 event attachment
else {
element["on" + type] = handler;
}
},
removeHandler: function(element, type, handler) {
//check if the element and the browser support DOM Level 2 event attachment
//if the user is not browsing with IE
if (element.removeEventListener) {
element.removeEventListener(type, handler, false);
}
//if user is browsing with IE
else if (element.detachEvent) {
element.detachEvent("on" + type, handler);
}
//if user is using a browser that only supports DOM Level 0 event attachment
else {
element["on" + type] = null;
}
}
};
But when debugging I see under el on the line marked with (1) that the onclick event is null. What am I doing wrong?! PS:the event is attached, when I click on the button I get an alert message |
