Warn User When He Tries To Close Page
Oct 9, 2009I want to display a notification message to users when they close a tab or browser window. What event happens when a user closes the browser?
View 6 RepliesI want to display a notification message to users when they close a tab or browser window. What event happens when a user closes the browser?
View 6 RepliesI have a php application that launches a window that is used for a database import/update (which is closed automatically when the import/update is complete). The thing is that the user could close this window and i want to pop up a warning message (but only if the user closes it) that the user can cancel (stop the closing of the window) or select OK to close the window.
I have been looking for a javascript script that accomplishes this but without luck. Does anyone know how to do this or if it's possible? (i only know a little javascript)
Ive looked and looked and can't find a solution to this problem... I want to have it so that when the users closes the window (by clicking the little [x] box at the top right hand corner), it prompts them asking if they really want to close the window. If they choose Yes then it does, if No, takes them back to where they just were. I know that this is possible with javascript, but is it possible to maybe coincide php w/ java in order to achieve this effect? If anyone can figure out a solution (possibly w/ code), ill be grateful..
secondly, is it possible to do the same w/ the user pressing the refresh button? By this i mean, if a user chooses to click the Refresh button in the toolbar of the browser, it alerts them saying somehting.
*The reason i don't ask this in the Javascript forum is because i need to work w/ php in order to do this.
I've got a form that's nested in a larger application. I need to
program it so that the user is warned to save upon clicking on any
exit point in the application.
So, if they click on any of the nav buttons in the header/nav bar,
they need to get an alert:
"Would you like to continue without saving your changes?"
_Yes_ _No_
It would be a big pain to retrofit the application's nav
buttons/framework for just these forms, so I'm looking for a solution
that doesn't require editing the source code of the application's
existing navigation.
What are my options?
I want to trap the window.close() event when the user clicks on the close button of the browser using javascript. Can anyone shed light on this problem ?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI want to log out the user when close the browser, so i need to call the java script function when close the window. I used the onunload and onbeforeunload event but it should call on each page navigation and page refreshing. My necessity is, The function should call only at the time of browser closed..that should be mainly supported in all browsers...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to display an alert message (a div with text) that fades in, and after 6 seconds fades out automatically. That's easy, but I also want to allow the user to close the div by clicking on it if they so desire. The problem is, the delay() function overrides the click, or so it seems -- clicking does nothing unless I remove the delay().
Here's the code I'm using:
I've tried reordering and combining these into a single statement but it yields the same result.
I made a drop-down list that is opened when a user clicks on a button. If the user selects an item, the drop-down is rebuilt so the list is closed. If the user clicks on the button again, the drop-down closes using .toggle() on the button click event, and these two scenarios work great.However, I also need the drop-down to close when the user clicks anywhere outside of the drop-down. This seems simple, but I've been having a really difficult time figuring this out. I tried .focusout(), but this makes the events I have tied to selecting an item not fire at all. I also found this little bit of code from a drop-down plugin that should work perfectly, but it fires when the user clicks on the button, so the drop-down never opens:

Imagine a wife has signed on to a web site in a browser tab. She does not sign off and walks away to do something else. Her husband sits at the computer and seeing her signed on, opens a new tab and tries to sign on to the same site.
I am trying to write a script that will close other tabs/windows when the husband goes to the same site to sign on.
So, on the sign on page (or even better, the sign off page), when the sign on button is clicked, a piece of Javascript code is run first. The javascript simply goes through all tabs on the browser, and checks to see if any such tabs has an HTML document that came from the same domain as the sign on page. If such tabs exist, then before POSTing the user name and password to the server, the Javascript code will close those tabs that contain HTML documents came from the same domain.
So, I understand I need to set the window.name to a specific value. But does anyone know what the code on the sign on/sign off page to close the other tabs/windows would look like?
As per the rather long subject, I would like to (well, my boss would like me to...) on a popup have one button to close and another to close but then redirect to another page.

I have to add some technique which will solve the following problem. A form is presented to the user in our web application. Say it has
4 text fields,
2 radio buttons (Yes / No)
1 checkbox
1 select list.
Now 2 textfields are pre-populated, one radio button (Yes) is pre-selected, checkbox is not checked, one option from select list is preselected.
Problem:
In 90% of the cases, all that the user needs to do is enter values in the 2 empty textfields and click Submit.
However, the user might change the values in the preselected controls, like check the checkbox, change radio selection from Yes to No, select a different option from the select list, change the default values from the prepopulated text fields.
Now in such a case where 'default' values are changed, I need to show a alert or a popup layer to the user when the submit button is clicked.
Showing a popup layer or an alert:
The popup layer/alert will be a confirmation popup which will say something like -
"You have changed the default values for:[all the fields which were changed by user]. This requires you to do [some task] once you submit the form.
If you do not wish to change these defaults, click Cancel.
To proceed with the changes, click OK and then Submit."
Clicking OK:
If user clicks OK, then all is well. User will click Submit to submit the form and do some task which is required when defaults are changed.
Clicking Cancel:
If user clicks Cancel then the defaults should be restored. User is now free to click Submit. Code:
I'm struggling to get what I want to work..I have two textfields (using jquery to ensure digits only, limit 3) one is total_available one is currently_available
obviously you cannot have more things available than you have in total, so i need to compare them, and warn when the second one is larger than the first. I tried to modify the jquery validation equalTo with no luck.
i actualy dont care it its not, if i can get the values from the fields, convert them to INT, then compare, and change the innerHTML of a warning DIV that is next to the fields to say "check again" then it will be sorted.

I wrote an ASP-page which allows friends to upload a datafile which will be processed and stored in a database. Because large files take some time to process I want to open a popup 'Please wait, processing' with some fancy graphics. So, onSubmit -> check form and open popup if correct. When data is written into the database (and summary page has finished loading) I want to close the popup.... although I named it winDialog (winDialog = window.open(...)) the new page tells me it can't find this popup ( if (window.winDialog) { winDialog.close() } ). Can anyone tell me what's wrong? Maybe I'm doing things wrong. Or could you perhaps put me in a right direction...
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem on a particular site I am working on.
The URL is [url]
The problem is that when I try to close the browser in IE on the main page I get an popup with an error which says: "An error has occured on the script on this page"
Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?
"Yes" or "No" (Buttons to Click)
I have to click the 'Yes' button about thirty times before the browser will finally close. Does anyone have any idea what this is?
Here is the source code.
Code:
I have this script which I found bits-and-pieces and put together to display and close the popup. The problem is I couldn't figure out a way to close the popup by clicking anywhere on a page. I can close by clicking on the link but that's not what i want. I want to be able to click anywhere on a page to close the popup.
View 3 Replies View RelatedBefore the user can close a page, I would like to have a message come up that asks if this is really what they want to do. the page needs to stay open.
I got this, edited, from msdn
function closeIt()
{
event.returnValue = "";
}
<body onbeforeunload="closeIt()" >
It works just fine, too well. I get the message when the user refreshes the page, something I do not want. Any thoughts?
I have an webbpage, and in the middle of it there is an iframe to a php site. So i have used this code, so after some seconds the iframe will send the guest to another page. <meta http-equiv="refresh" traget="_top" content="5 url=http://mypage.com"/> But the thing is that i want the WHOLE page to reload, and go to that page after 5 seconds (we can say). With that code, only the iframe are going to another page. Is it possible to make the whole page send the user after some seconds, to another page and not only the iframe?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to add a global event handler for mousedown that will register whenever the user clicks anywhere on the page but I'm having trouble.This is what I'm trying to do:

There is many examples of PageLoader's etc. in the web, but I can't find a script like facebook (and many other sites) uses. When a link is cliked -> user stays at current page and get's "Page loading" etc. notice until the next page is fully downloaded.In other words; When I click a link (Internet Explorer), I get first "a white page" until next page show's ..I want, that the page does not go white at all, but current page show's until the next page is fully downloaded.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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'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.
my page contains an applet. When I click on a link on the page, the
applet will be launched. Now I need my page can be automatically closed
when I close my applet. I can call the script from my applet to do
this, but the poor thing is each time the script is called, IE will
prompt to ask "the page you are viewing try to close the window ..".
Is there any possible way for the browser not to prompt like that. I
only know that a closing a popup window will not askk anything, but I
don't know more than this.
here's what i need to do:
1. open popup
2. on submit -- run the asp to process results and then
3. close the page
4. refresh the paretn page
how can I do this? can anyone help me?
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?
