Can the user response to the IE7 prompt when closing a window be captured?

Hello Experts,
Is there a way to trap the user response to the prompt IE7 uses when closing a window? In an asp.net application, code runs when a button is clicked. This button assumes the user presses "Yes" ( I want to close the window) If the user presses "No", I need to be able to do something else.
Thanks
Howard

Did you try with onunload or onbeforeunload event.

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function doUnload()
{
//do form submission to perform an operation
formNo.submit();
}

< body onunload="doUnload()">
< /body>

Thanks for your quick response....

Here is the situation. In an asp.net 2.0 application, on a master page there is a asp:button control. The onClick="btnReleaseRecord_Click"

(see code snippet)

what I would like is that if the user selects No, then the code below
ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock....NewGuid().ToString, "window.close()", True)

does not fire.

Thanks

Protected Sub btnReleaseRecord_Click(..., ...)
 
   ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(Page, Page.GetType(),        Guid.NewGuid().ToString, "window.close()", True)
  If Session("OwnerExiting") = "yes" Then
     Application.Remove(Session("QuoteNumber"))
     Application.Remove(Session("QuoteNumber") & "User")
  End If
  Dim ow = Session("OwnerExiting")
  Session.RemoveAll()
  Session("OwnerExiting") = "yes"
 End Sub

Open in new window
