I pointed you to the other corner peel code as an alternative, in case it would be easier for you to understand or implement. I apologize for suggesting alternate resources or code.

There isn't anything that will prevent them from "attempting" to hit the Back button. If they do hit the Back button, onUnload() is likely to be all you can use. If onUnload() doesn't work with your script or page, that's another issue.

I'm not familiar with your level of expertise, so I can't tell how exactly much help you need. We're glad to help (or try to, in any case). We can provide examples and bits of code but generally we don't write complete scripts for people. If someone here is willing to do that for you, that's great, but typically it's going to be up to you to do at least some of the coding.

As mentioned above, if onUnload() doesn't work with your script or page, then there's something else going on. It's a standard Javascript function that works in any recent browser. As for the script I provided, depending on your brand of browser, it may or may not detect the mouse position, so I've pasted in another one below that should work with just about any browser (see below). If you don't understand how it works, please ask.

Well, I'm trying.

If someone else is willing to assist you, they're welcome to.

HTML Code:

<html>
<body>
<!-- mouse coordinate display script, should work with any modern browser -->
<form name="MouseDisplay">
<input type="text" name="MouseX" value="0" size="4"> X<br>
<input type="text" name="MouseY" value="0" size="4"> Y<br>
</form>

<script type="text/javascript">
var IE = document.all?true:false
if (!IE) document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEMOVE)
document.onmousemove = getMousePos;
// Temporary variables to hold mouse x-y pos.s
var tempX = 0;
var tempY = 0;

function getMousePos(e) {
  if (IE) { // grab the x-y pos.s if browser is IE
    tempX = event.clientX + document.body.scrollLeft
    tempY = event.clientY + document.body.scrollTop
  } else {  // grab the x-y pos.s if browser is NS
    tempX = e.pageX
    tempY = e.pageY
  }  
  // catch/correct negative values 
  if (tempX < 0){tempX = 0}
  if (tempY < 0){tempY = 0}  

  // show the position values in the form
  document.MouseDisplay.MouseX.value = tempX;
  document.MouseDisplay.MouseY.value = tempY;
  return true;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
