Disabling Title Bar/Close Button

[PunkRockNeil]

Hi,

I'm doing customizations on some of my company's code and the code right now is assuming that a user is going to go through a process the proper way every time they access this process. However, if a user closes the window they're in using the 'X' in the title bar it throws off the process the next time it is run. Is there any way of disabling the 'X' to close windows or getting rid of the Title bar using the window.open parameters? I Know you can make a window not sizable, hide the menu, status bar, etc....

Thanks in advance,
Neil

the only way you can do that is if you use the chromeless popup. that way you can take the close button off and put your own if need be.

other than that you don't have any other way to do what you want.

Thanks for the suggestion...Instead I just used a workaround with the onunload event of the window...

From a programming standpoint, I'd say you're in for a maintenence nightmare if you begin relying on the client's browser to send some sort of signal that indicates the process is finished. If a computer bombs for whatever reason before finishing, you're going to have to drop everything and "go fix the computer again"

There are other ways. Perhaps we can help improve the design a little if you can describe a little more in-depth what you are doing and what techniques you are using to keep track of where the user is in the process (also known as "maintaining state")
