You cannot disbable that button with client side javascript. The user
remains in control of the window.
Trusted script can however with NN4 open a window without the titlebar.
And IE can open a window fullscreen without titlebar with
open ('url', 'windowName', 'fullscreen'),but this can be closed with
ctrl+alt+delete.
Note: Javascript can make the window stay open by using the following
code on most Javascript aware browsers:
<script language="javascript">
<!--
function reloadthis(){
if(confirm(do you want to stay?)) {
window.open('your url here', '', 'attributes go here')
}
}
or if you dont want the confirm box...
<script language="javascript">
<!--
function reloadthis(){
window.open('your url here', '', 'attributes go here')
}
//-->
</script>
Then in replace the body tag with:
<body onUnload="reloadthis();">
