OnBeforeUpdate being triggered by asynchronous events.

[Microsoft Newsserver]

Hi,

I am running 2005, 2.0, Ajax. Extensions.

I needed to run some client side code before allowing the window to close
( IE window still visible ), so i used the onbeforeupdate event of the
window. This works ok, however, I have noticed that any asynchronous
trigger also causes this event to fire.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem.

So to paraphrase this. I need to intercept the user closing the window . run
my code with the window still visible and then allow it to close.

Thanks in advance....

sorry : was onbeforeunload

onbeforeunload fires every time the document is unloaded (every page flip).
you need to write code that sets a variable that a psotback has started, so
your unload routine can detect it in a postback.

Interesting thought there Bruce..

Any idea how to trap all postback requests ?. Actually, I may know how to do
this, thanks for the thought, im going to look at it.


Cheers
