disabling close button

[Youngblood_97]

Searched around but didnt find anything on this subject. I am working on an application that would be very beneficial to disable the close x button in the top right of explorer so the persono doesn't lose all the information before they save their work. Is there a script for this or possible a script to pop up a message reminding them to save before they close?? Thanks in advance!!!

a browser window triggers an
onunload
event when its being closed,however it might not work way too well since there is a difference between the implementation of this event in IE and NS,IE adds sort of delay to implement it threfore allowing you to get alert messaged and stuff where as NS I think does not allow u to do that..

great thanks looking through some reference books but can't seem to find any good examples. Do you happen to know where I might find an example of this??

Actually trying to only have the message come up when you click the x close button the message i have comes up on any link or anything. Is there any way to have this work like i intend?

EDIT:


This is what I have so far.


<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
var msg = "Are you sure you want to close the window?";
if(confirm(msg)) window.close();
</script>
