Hi everyone
I want to open a popup window from the parent and it works as a preloader and once my parent window is loaded and i`ll close the popup window from the parent. But my popup window has a close button on the top right,i want to disable the close button to avoid users closing it.
Any quick suggestions will be appreciated
cheers

Here's what I found with Google when searching for "disable window close button X javascript".

Can I disable the window's close (X) button?

You cannot disbable that button with client side javascript. The user
remains in control of the window.
Trusted script can however with NN4 open a window without the titlebar.
And IE can open a window fullscreen without titlebar with
open ('url', 'windowName', 'fullscreen')

In IE4, JavaScript in the page can catch all events that might close
the window and prompt the user with a dialog asking whether to
proceed. See the 'onbeforeunload' event.

Thats correct. You can not disable back buttons or close buttons. That is something the client will allows have.
