Here is the scenario:
I have a pop up window where the user can click on two buttons BUT the user can also click the X in the upper right corner to close the window out. If the user does that then i need to be able to capture some event to set a session variable. The "location.href" thing did not work. Is there some way i can set a session variable from a VB Script on the page itself??
PLEASE I NEED HELP !!!

So you have already an popup window.
Make another asp page that do your job, lets say set_session.asp
place this on your popup window
<body onunload="doUnload()">
...
<script language=javascript>
function doUnload()
{
x=window.open("set_session.asp","_new","width=1,height=1,toolbar=0,top=0,left=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=0"
;
}
</script>
and in your set_session.asp file
<%
'asp code here
%>
<script language=javascript>
self.close()
</script>
I've used this for all my pages. works 100% unless they use some popup stopers or some kind of things.

well i have another way. when the page loads set the session to the value of No (ie the value that will be set if the No button is clicked or the X button is clicked). if the user clicks yes then no problem. otherwise also u have ur session...
