Hey,

In an ASP page I want to be able to stop the ability to refresh, i.e. either bring up a dialog or just not do anything when F5, the Refresh Button and Ctrl+R are pressed. Can anyone help me?

Silvaduro, there are some ways how to trick your lame users, however any more or less designated user will get anything he need (client side, I mean :)), including reload.

Isn't there a way even through JavaScript?

I think something passed through me that assigns another job for the F5 key other than refresh!!! but Im not sure

your talking about Internet Explorer assigned keys. The F5 key is assigned refresh by windows. I would put my money on MorningZ's answer. Besides, why would you ever want to disable refresh.

Anything you're likely to do to prevent a refresh will be like disabling right click - very annoying to your users and easily beaten.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

and you are NOT going to stop the "refresh" button on the top of an IE (or netscape or opera) window..... there is no script to take over someone's browser functionality

a copy can be disabled even when clicking Edit | Copy, it appears a disabled item.

a Select of Text can also be disabled.

 

Stopping Refresh function is useful for example to prevent a form from being submitted twice.

 

there are scripts that can for example when pressing Control+H takes you to the Home Page, and so on.. that's what I meant by assigning a certain function to a certain Key.

Control+C can be disabled by a JavaScript Code.

 

I didn't say F5 can be disabled, I am just thinking in a load voice.
