i'd like to know if there's any script to 'prevent' the user in clicking the reload icon on the browser window?.. which i mean is that the page will not be reloaded even the user click the reload icon.. or is there any way to solve the problem?
 
hmm.. moreover, can i show any alert msg if the user want to close the browser?
Thx in advance.
 
Hi,

This is just an idea, but I think that you generally can't prevent that. The user can always click refresh or use Ctrl-R (or something like that).

A solution might be opening the page, on which you want to disable reload, in a popup without menubars.
Then you capture all key events to prevent the user from using shortcuts.

But, I don't see why you should want to prevent such a thing? Can you tell me more on this?

Think your question about the alert is a bit the same. This is a system operation which can always be executed.
This is just an idea, but maybe you could use onblur? But after that the page will still be closed. :-P

Gtz,

try calling on onload function in the body

<BODY onload = &quot;function()&quot;>

which sets window.menubar = no
