Adding Variable To Close Window Statement

[FontanaS]

I have the following code that closes a window. -

<td align="right"><a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="window.opener=self;window.close();"><font face="Tahoma" color="#000080" size="4"><b>Close</b></font></a></td>

The problem is that I want to add -
Session("CanEdit") = "False" so it changes the value of the session variable when it closes. Otherwise I am stuck with that value when the user opens the form again.

You can try adding that line of code to the Session_OnEnd Subroutine of your Global.asa file.

Good Luck!

You can try adding that line of code to the Session_OnEnd Subroutine of your Global.asa file.

Which would only be called once the session expires -> after 20 mins (or whatever it's explicitly set to)

To change the value of the session variable when the window is closed you need to perform an AJAX routine to invoke an ASP file that will change the variable server side. There's a TON of documentation on AJAX - just do a google search to get started. If you continue to have problems post in the javascript forum, as it won't really pertain to ASP at that point.
