window.close

[yegappan ramaiah]

Hi,

I have a pop-up, if the user clicks on the 'X'(close) button of the pop-up, i need to fire certain validations. Based on the validation I decide whether to close the window or to keep it open, the problem I am facing is I am not able to hold back the window untill I give window.returnValue = "" But this again gives me a warning message box which I don't need, is there anyway to hold back the window without the warning message. This requirement is for IE 5.5 and above.

Thanks in advance,
Yegappan

There is no way of trapping the close event except for using onbeforeunload with IE. I guess that is what you were asking to show this prompt or not.
