Portal log off error

[Former Member]

Hello everyone,

When I click on the log off button, an I.E window opens up with the following message "The web page you are viewing is trying to close the window". If I click yes, the browser window closes. How can I avoid this message from popping up? I want that when the user clicks on the log off, the browser window should close without popping any new window. I am not using any popupblockers. I have used window.close() to close the browser window.

Thanks,

J.D

What version of EP are you using?

In any case, the following should suppress the pop up for closing a parent window.

<a href="javascript:close(opener=0)">Close</a>

Is the pop u talking abt is same as the pop up that comes when u hit log off? with message'Are you sure u want to log off'.

Peter,

No this is not the portal log off message. I had disabled the portal log off message. I made changes to the par file com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead par file to remove the log off.

K thanx for responding.

U removed LogOff link from the MastHead...but don't u think it creates confusion for the end users?

I just want to know if that cud create any problems.

I'm trying to edit masthead to display logoff message when a user clicks X on the window.Do u have any script and where to place?

Peter,

I really dont think removing the log off pop-up will create problems for the user. Its just that they have to do one less click.

Clicking X on the window is something very fundamental to the browser and I am not sure if javascript will work at that level.

Thank you.

Yes it is possible to invoke a script when u click X.

windows.onunload()=closeEP and then call logoff() in Masthead.

function closeEP()

{

logoff();

}

I tried that but i don't fathom where iam failing. i can alert a simple message in logoff().

Like if i hit X. closeEP() will be called and it inturn calls logoff().It alerts the simple message but never brings that pop box with message "Are you sure, you want to logoff".
