Hi all,

I need to stop the browser refresh on clicking the webbrowser's refresh button in the menu.

Is there any means to control this refresh?

Thanks in advance

I would not recommend even trying to change a browser's default behavior in such a way as it's never the best way. The very fact you wish to do this highlights to me that there is most likely some flaw in your application you are trying to work round.

So whether it's flash, frames or whatever I am sure there is a better way...
Maybe you could be more specific about your application and why this function is required and perhaps we can show you an alternive method that isnt likely to annoy visitors.

Hi Rob,

I have developed a Online Test portal. I have used iframes and javascript to traverse between questions. Application never sends request to server to get the next question. All Questions are loaded in javascript and executed in the client side.

In this case , if a end user answers 4 questions , and accidently clicks refresh in the web browser, all the user datas of the previously answered datas are getting refreshed. In one word , his test answers are vanishing.

How should I proceed in this case.? How can i restricted the user in clicking the refresh button

Thanks

you'll have to store there progress in a cookie so if they refresh it automatically goes to the correct question.
