Welcome to the Ranch.

First, a few things to help make the most out of your visits here.

Please read the articles linked to by the "Smart Questions" link in my sig below. In particular:

Please take the time to choose the correct forum for your posts. This forum is for questions on JSP, not JavaScript. For more information, please read this.

This post has been moved to a more appropriate forum.

Also, please refrain from using words such as "Urgent!" when posting. Your question is no more and no less important than anyone else's. In fact, by using the such terms, you you can delay or prevent useful response to your question. Please read this to find out why.

You can not force a person to stay on a page.

Hey,

you cannot do this with the 'onunload' event but this can be done with the 'onbeforeunload' event.

By the time the 'onunload' event is fired you are already moving to a new page.
