open an alert with OK button and don't close the screen ...

OnBeforeUnload Alternative
Jul 23, 2005Currently I use an onbeforeunload method, to do call various tidy up
methods when a user exits my web application - however I now need to add
additional support, for users migrating to Sun's JVM.
My understanding that the onbeforeunload call is a Microsoft one, and
the net result of having it in a page used by a SUN JVM user is that the
browser does not close.
Does anyone know of an alternative to this method, that is supported
by Sun's JVM?
Onbeforeunload Issue
Jul 23, 2005The onbeforeunload fires just before the current document begins to
unload due to form submission or window closure.
How can I have this code run after window closure (X) but not after
pressing a button (form submission)?
Any Alternate For OnBeforeUnload?
Jun 6, 2006the bug of onbeforeunload is so obvious!
in IE 6 it will popup twice "sometimes"
I am using the following code
window.onbeforeunload = null;
window.onbeforeunload = confirmExit;
var executingPostBack = false;
function confirmExit()
{
if ( typeof executingPostBack != 'undefined' && !executingPostBack)
{
return 'Warning: Modified data has not been saved.' ;
}
}
In some cases, IE pops up it twice, for example, when we click a link
that contains "__doPostBack", onbeforeunload is fired the first time;
when the form is submitted, it is fired second time.
There is no way to work it around, because onbeforeunload is stupid, we
can't know whether the user clicks OK or Cancel.
I would like to use the following code with confirm so that I know
exactly what the user behaves
res = confirm("leaving?");
if (res==1)
{
alert("yes");
}
else
{
alert("no");
}
but I can't use this in onbeforeunload, because I can't stop it!
onbeforeunload always asks for something return, but if I return
anything, it will popup!
OnBeforeUnload And Submit() Together?
Jun 6, 2005I have written a web application in .ASP with VBScript and JavaScript running against a SQL back end. Everything works great except my BeforeUnload() event:
<%'Add a script to save any unsaved data before the client leaves the page%>
<script language="JavaScript">
window.
function confirmExit()
{if (document.Client_Info_Page.Value_Changed.value == "true")
{if (confirm("This record has been changed. Press [OK] to save; [Cancel] to discard."))
{document.Client_Info_Page.submit();
alert("Changed and save");}
else
{alert("Changed and no save");}
}
}
</script>
<%'END Add a script to save any unsaved data before the client leaves the page%>
This code checks a variable to see if anything's been changed on the page and if it has, it asks the user if they'd like to save before exiting. The alert boxes are just to show the If/Then is working correctly (which it is) but the .Submit() function just gets ignored as the page exits.
Just to play, I made a java button and cut and pasted the submit() into and when that's clicked it submits with no problem.
Anyone know how I can get the onBeforeUnload to push a .Submit()? I've changed it to stop the exit and allow the user to save, but it would be so much smoother if it could be automatic.

Feb 9, 2006Does anyone know how to suppress the default messages?
1. "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?"
2. "Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on current page"
I need to provide the user a custome message. I tried many approachs, but non of them seem to work. I tried to use a confirm box instead, but for some reason, the return value for onBeforeUnload event seem to be used as string, so return false to the event CANNOT stop the page from refreshing.

View 3 Replies View RelatedShow/Hide Divs Trigger OnBeforeUnload (IE)?
May 22, 2009I'm trying to add the "you have unsaved changes" message to a form. I have it working in every browser except IE7 and IE8.I have set the onbeforeunload with using a global "goodExit" variable (that's supposed to help IE, and it did partially).The thing is, that I have multiple tabs on the page, so I only show part of the form at any given time. If they change a field on one tab, the top of the page shows a visual box of "unsaved data", so that as the users changes tabs the box at the top still shows.The problem is that, IE fires the onbeforeunload anytime someone clicks to change tabs. The only thing that happens when they click a tab is that I use jQuery to show/hide the DIVs appropriately.Why does IE fire onbeforeunload when changing the display of DIVs???!!!No other browser does this.The global "goodExit" variable meant to help IE, seems to work, except that goodExit is set to true if they change any field on a tab, so that then the next tab they switch to fires the event.
View 3 Replies View RelatedOverride A Value= In An Input Tag?
Nov 12, 2009I have the following input tags:
Code:
<input type="text" name="fname_search" value="First Name" onfocus="clrFirstName()" size ="10" />
<input type="text" name="lname_search" value="Last Name" onfocus="clrLastName()" size ="10" />
As can be seen, the input fields have First Name and Last Name as the default values. What I would like to do then, is as soon as the user clicks in the First Name or Last Name field, that the field would blank out and allow the entry of the field. My JS looks like:
Code:
function clrFirstName() {
document.fsearch.fname_search.value="";
}
[code]....
fsearch is the name of the form.When I click on the field, nothing happens.
Override Disabled Property
Jul 23, 2005I would like to override the "disabled" property of a hidden field. When
disabled is set to "true", it would call a function to disable 2 other text
fields on the form. When disabled is set to "false", it would enable those
2 text fields. You should also be able to get the value of it as if it were
a property:
alert(my_hidden_field.disabled);
Is there any way to do this?

Aug 3, 2006Normally, a button like <input type="image"is also a submit button.
Is there any way to override that so that it has an onclick event but

JQuery :: Proper Way To Override Css For Project
Aug 10, 2011Very new using jQuery. Anyway, I have the following few lines which create a component on a web page.[code]...
Upon some analysis, I can see that the css does contain the styles used by my div. So now, I would like to change the colors of the component, but I am not sure what is the best practice. Can one override in the div tag the colors, or should one duplicate the .css and change it?
Seeking the best way to perform this that other in the group use.
Specfic Override To The Same-origin Policy
Nov 5, 2007I am trying find a way to create a specfic override to the same-origin policy between 2 frames so that I can use javascript find out the current url of frame2 from frame1.
I have read that I will need a digitally signed activex control for IE6/7 and I am not sure what is needed for other browsers.
I need this to be secure in that the override will:
- only allow frame1 (when loaded from mydomain.com) to find the current url of frame 2
- not work when frame2 is https
If this is possible does anyone know why I should not do this? If I use this in my app am I going to shoot myself in the foot?
Override A Keypress Event And Redirect It To Another?
May 6, 2010Code...
I'm getting an error object required on the window.onkeypress line.
I have a data entry app and the users are keying with their right hand on the number pad and flipping pages with their left. If they want to use the normal tab key they have to take their hand off of the papers to do so. I figured it would be pretty simple to override the keypress even for the + key and divert it to act like tab was pressed instead.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAuto Refresh To Override A Remote System Cache?
Nov 5, 2010OK this is a concept at the moment.
the thinking goes like this:
1) read the page for last date (somewhere on the page) that the page was generated.
2) compare with current date
3) if it looks old refresh or re-load.
4) check for history to count the number of re-loads, stop at once.
Maybe the refresh/load will not add to history if the page is the same URL
SO: without using cookies - the remote system may not save them - our local library system has the OS instances screwed down to the point of frustration, hence the use of FF portable right now.
But my audience use whatever they use so I want a rouse to work regardless. The last time I checked the library system cache was more than 4 days old for sure. And some surfers have the pages from the local cache by default.
manual refresh usually sorts this and I do have a manual button on my homepage.
