How do I trap File-->New -->Window event.

[jsphtml]

Hi I have a related thread "Track how a user opens a link" already posted below...But I have a similar question:

How do I trap the event which gets triggered when the user opens a new window using the file menu.

I came across an event "NewWindow2" for IE, but could not find ways to trap this event....

Refer:

[msdn.microsoft.com...]

for more info on "NewWindow2".

Any ideas on how to trap this event...?

thnx.

Hey,

Was not able to figure out, how to trap this event. But came up with another solution to disallow the user from opening a new window thru
File-->New-->Window. You guys can use this in ur websites if u want to...(By no means do I proclaim this method to be flawless, and if anybody can point out possible problems please do so...!)

Here is what I do:

a) I have named the parent frame/window in the app using JS -- window.name="LOGON";.

The parent window is the login page itself, since all the other pages once the user logs in are opened in this window.

b) Whenever the user opens, a new IE window, thru File->New->Window...the resulting window is unamed. So I use JS to check the name of the window and throw an error msg, like so:

if(stringTrim(window.name)=="")
{
document.location.href = 'erroMsg Action';
}

Thus, I am able to stop the user from spawning multiple windows in my app.

I think this method is very rudimentory and I guess there should be much better/robust methods out there to do what I am trying to do above.

Any other suggestions welcome!

thnx,
