Refresh parent onclose of child

mat41 · Oct 18, 2007

Hello JS Masters

I can easily achieve this by placing a close window button of my own. However, is there a way to make it work this after the user clicks IE's red X?

Please note : I am coding in a strict IE 6.0 SP2 SOE using Classic ASP

mat41, you can use the body unload event which works for all browsers I believe:

Code:

function doUnloadEvent()
{
if (window.event.clientX < 0 && window.event.clientY < 0)
{
alert("Window closing");
}
}

<body onunload="doUnloadEvent()">

Cheers

Thanks for your time however the unload event is not a good option. We dont want this firing if a user refreshes the page......This is just one of the obvious reasons.

Solution (can anybody see any floors?? it seems to work very well)

function closeSession()
{
//capturing ALT + F4
if (event.altKey==true && event.keyCode==0 )
{
//alert("closed1")
window.close();
if (window.opener && !window.opener.closed) {
window.opener.location.reload();
}

}

Xwidth=window.document.body.offsetWidth-window.event.clientX
YHeight=window.event.clientY
if(Xwidth<=30&&YHeight<0)
{
window.close();
if (window.opener && !window.opener.closed) {
window.opener.location.reload();
}
}

}
window.onbeforeunload=closeSession
