Dear All,

I have a Main Asp.Net page . In that Page I have a Tab Strip which has
SIX tabs each representing a different web Forms.So that when a user
clicks different tab he can navigate between different forms.In my Main
Page I have written a javascript code

function ConfirmClose() {

confirm("Are you Sure You Want to Close This Main Window?") ;

}

and in the body tag of Main form I have written <body onbeforeunload
="ConfirmClose()" >
Now this code is only for the Main Form which has a Tab Strip of SIX
different forms. Now the problem is When the Main Page is loaded
and I click X button of the browser It displays the message
("Are you Sure You Want to Close This Main Window?") which is
fine, but when I navigate to some other Form which is within the
MAIN FORM by pressing the Tab button the above message again
pops up.and it keeps poping up as I navigate through the six forms.
which I dont want. I only want this message to appear when I press
X Button of Main Browser window .

Any help much appreciated.

cheers,
Sunil Sabir
 
See the documentation for the onclose event (I believe, check aslo brower
support).

onbeforeunlaod is when the current document uis unloaded. This is the case
each time you request a new page from the server...

that is correct. the event fire whenever a page is unloaded, which will
happen with any navigation. there is no browser event tied to actual browser
close. you can host your site in a frameset that detects the close, which
would be closer to want you want.
