H

haldaqqaq

I used to have onbeforeunload (Javascript) on the a BODY Tag so when
the user (x) close Internet explorer it will call the logoff function.
But after I ran microsoft update on Beginging of Augest, 2006 this
function does not work anymore.
<body onbeforeunload="logoffuser();">
Please advice

Fix your server code so that it handles it properly.
What happens if the user loses power? You still won't get the logoffuser
called....

i actually have no up-to-date IEx available right now, but i remember
some older Microsoft-only solution you might try:

<script language="JavaScript" event="onbeforeunload()" for="window">
event.returnValue= "some Message";
</script>

hopefully, it works..
