onclick cancel another function

>is there a way to cancel and make sure the onunload won't run

use a input with type = button
and not a submit button

set the onclick attribute of this button to run the different function

Try adding

window.onunload=null;

Select allOpen in new window

somewhere in your function to cancel the onunload call.

<input type="button" onclik="a_different_function()" value="no unload" />

Select allOpen in new window

leakim971,

I think rivkamak is looking for a way to cancel the onunload call.  There seems to already be a function called when a button is clicked.

In your example (onclik should be onclick, I think), in  a_different_function() adding the line I posted above would cancel the onunload function.

My onlick submits the page. But I don't want the onunload to happen when you click the submit button.
If the form submits but I put value="no unload", then the unload wont' happen?
