How To Distinguish Between Page Refresh And Window Close?
Aug 28, 2006
I'm not sure if this question should go to the "JavaScript" section;
but I'm open to non-JavaScript (like VBScript) options too. So, I'm
posting this here.
I have the following problem:
For my application, I need to ask a confirmation when the user closes
the browser-window. If the answer is positive, I would like to log-off
the session and close the window. If the answer is negative, I would
like to stay back (no logging-off, no closing the window).
I can't do this in the window.unload event because the window is
already closed when the unload event is fired. I tried doing this in
the beforeUnload event. But the beforeUnload event gets called even
when I refresh the page and in that case, I don't want to ask this
question or logoff.

I am a visual designer that can usually install pre written code without to much difficulty. And, indeed I have installed FancyBox
I am working with a dynamically generated page written in ColdFusion. Three divs on the page contain FancyBox links that open editing screens. Once editing is complete and the user closes the FancyBox modal the changes need to be reflected on the parent page.
Right, so I was able to find a solution that refreshes the entire page
'onClosed': function() {
parent.location.reload(true); }
});
to refresh the entire parent page. But, that causes a browser prompt that is confusing to users and a bit of over kill as I really only need the information edited to refresh.
How, oh how can I get just a single div to refresh "onClosed" as apposed to the entire page?

I have to open a new window when user closes the browser window. But the problem is that on browser close unload event calls and the same event is called with we refresh the page. So it is opening the popup window on both window close and window refresh.

I have a product that has many features. Clicking on a feature opens a popup window with explanation. There is a js Close Window link in each. All is fine so far.
Now in one popup window there is a reference to a different page of the main website. Is it possible to have a single text link both CLOSE the popup AND go to a new page in the parent window?

I'm new to javascript and im trying to add a close button function to my certain pages of my site. I use this code:
<a href='javascript:window.close();'>Close Window</a>
to create a hyperlink which closes the window. However with pages which
display data retrieved from a database using PHP i use a form to submit
a search on the page which displays results. At the bottom of the page
is the close window link, however it fails to work once a form has been
submitted on the page. It only works when the page first loads.
Any ideas guys on how i can get a close window option that works on my
results page after submitting a search?

I was curious if such a thing is possible, I've seen it done before, but not exactly sure how that would work. Would it have something to do with the window.close (); function?

I am trying to create a new window from which the original page can close that new window. For some reason the following code will not work. Passing the window.open command to a variable called myWindow does not work with the mouse event, but it seems to work fine with a javascript: URL command. I would prefer to do it with the mouse event. Code:

Ok so I have a site that I want to automatically close the window when the focus is lost from the page. For example, if the user clicks off the page to something else on there desktop I want the page to close. So far I have managed to do this but the grids on my page and the scroll bars all trigger the close function when clicked on. Is there anyway to make the scroll bars and drop down boxes not trigger the function?
This is the line of code that I have.

I want to be able to open a window with a variable. For example, I will use domain.com?reference=1234- This link will open a pop up window as follows:
<a href="javascript:popUp('http://www.domain.co.uk/staff/tpr/update_action_log.php?action_reference=<?php echo $row2['action_reference']; ?>')" title="Click Here edit this entry"><?php echo $row2['action_reference']; ?></a>
When I open this window, it is always showing data put in last, it isnt refreshed. I wanted to open this pop up window, enter data and then click submit and make the data enter the database and then refresh the parent window. Every time I have done this, either the parent or the pop (or both) is showing old data.

- I have a button on my Flash site that opens an HTML page in a popup window. In Flash, I open the new window using Actiosnscript 2.0:
- Within the popup window are links to other HTML pages. They all open in the same window. I've been using the following to create the links in Dreamweaver:
- On each page, I have a "Return to Main Menu" button that should close the popup window. To do this, I have been using:
- The problem is that it works differently in each browser, and I can't even get it to consistently close the window in most browsers:
Internet Explorer = popup message appears, asking "Are you sure you want to close this window?" or something similar; window closes after clicking "Yes."
Safari = Only closes if I'm on the original HTML page. If I click on any of the other links (note that these all open in the same window), those pages' "Return to Main Menu" buttons cease to work. However, if I keep clicking "Back" until I get to the original page, it closes.
Opera = Button actually works for each page.
Firefox & Chrome = Does not close the window at all.
I looked into it and saw that others have used a window.opener to solve similar issues. But, since my popup window is opened using Flash/AS2, I need to find a way around it.
I've tried preceding "window.close()" with "window.opener=null" (i.e. -onClick="window.opener=null; window.close()"), but I don't think I'm doing it right because it still doesn't work.
I've also seen others use codes that involve functions and variables, but it is beyond my current coding knowledge to implement this. Like I said, I'm sort of new at this.

I've got a situation where I'm updating a MySQL DB with PHP but because of
how the language works I need to do the following.
The "main page" will open a remote page where the user will add/edit/modify
data then on the confirmation page, there needs to be a close button.
However, before the window is closed, I want it to reload the "main window"
so that they can see the changes they made. I've been digging through the
google groups and JS sources on the net but I'm just not finding answers for
a JS newb like myself.....

When we refresh the page (F5, or icon in browser), it will first
trigger ONUNLOAD event and then trigger
ONLOAD event. When we close the browser (X on right top icon), it will
trigger ONUNLOAD event.
Now when ONUNLOAD event is triggered, there is no way to distinguish
between
refresh the page or close the browser.
Here's the code fragment. The logic in window_unload() only applies to
closing the browser, not refreshing the page.
<BODY ONUNLOAD="window_unload()">
function window_unload()
{//logic that only applies to close the browser, not refresh the page.
}
Anyone knows the workaround to the problem?

I read about window object and specifically about creating popup windows. The code below produces a popup window when a link is clicked:
Code JavaScript:
var Survey =
{
init: function()
{
var surveyLink = document.getElementById("survey");
Core.addEventListener(surveyLink, "click", Survey.clickListener);
},
[Code]....
I would like to add a "Close Window" button on survey.html page and when that button is clicked, the window would close. How do I do that? I know that I should use (reference to popup window).close(), but how and where do I attach even listener to that button?

Here is the url:The issue, as you will see, is initially when my front page loads the "menu" animates into place. Then after a button is clicked:
$(".home_button").click(function() {
$('#content_menu').stop().fadeOut(1000,function() {
window.location = "http://jquery.com/";
[code]...
That all works fine. The issue is when I use the back button on the browser to return to the home page the animation never triggers and the page remains unusable until a refresh. How can I have this page refresh when the user uses the back button and/or is there a better way to do what I'm asking?

I need a script that will open a new window (popup / new link) in a specific size, but will also close the old window (where the popup came from). I know the popup window is easy but finding a work-able close window script as the new window is opened is impossible!!

I'm trying to create code to close the child window I'm creating if the parent window is closed. Here's my code so far:
function openWindow() {
var newWin = window.open(); // open the new window
newWin.document.write('<h1>Child Window</h1>
[Code]...
The above openWindow function is used in this event: <input type="button" name="btn" onclick="openWindow()"value="Open a new window" />
I can generate the new window fine. I just can't close it if the parent window is closed.
