How to handle the window closing event without calling windlow.onBeforeUnLoad()?
I want to validate something when the user clicks the X mark in the window to Close.I don't want to call the window.onBeforeUnLoad(),method ,since it is pop Up the confirmation Dialog Box.Since i don't want that Dialog box.

If any one suggests the alternative,it will be very much useful to me.

Thanks in advance.

Javascript and DOM have limited control what a browser can do.
Refer to: HTML event types

You can very well use this onbeforeunload. If you dont want to see the dialog box, then only thing you have to do is... the function should not return any values to the 'onbeforeunload' event.

For ex: you should not write like this <body ... onbeforeunload="return yourfunction();"...>

instead it will work if you write <body... onbeforeunload="yourfunction();"...>


Try this and let me know if any issue araises...

Thanks

You don't have to decide whether it closes or not. That decision belongs to the user. You can decide what happens before the window closes and what happens when the user closes the window, but not whether it closes or not.
