Detect F5 being pressed and Refresh - asp.net

I have a webform and i want to detect if F5 button was pressed or if the page was refreshed. I know about postback but it is not what i'm looking for. I have a gridview that loads in a modal popup when a button is clicked and a parameter's value is set for the gridview. When refresh is hit and if the modal popup button was previously clicked the modal popup is visible right after refresh. I want to detect if the page is refreshed to prevent this. any ideas? I thought to try Override but I'm not exactly sure how to use it. I tried Control.ModifierKeys but I don't have access to ModifierKeys.

Pressing F5 or physically clicking the browser refresh behaves similarly to navigating away from the page. This is captured in the event window.onunload. Try the snippet example below:
window.onbeforeunload = function (evt) {
var message = 'Are you sure you want to leave?';
if (typeof evt == 'undefined') {
evt = window.event;
}
if (evt) {
evt.returnValue = message;
}
return message;
}
This will capture the refresh and allow you to do something or prompt the user.

Reemember that hotkeys are processed in the client side in the browser. The easiest way to implement this is through javascript.

bootstrap studio: enter key appears to causing reload of page

I have a web page with several forms. Only one is visible at a time, depending on state.
On one form, pressing the enter key appears to be causing a reload of the page rather than triggering a click event for the form's button.
I have a lot of javascript, primarily because I need client side interaction with mailchimp. Because of that, I have disabled the form's action= html and have instead created a javascript function to handle the click. It works fine if you click on the button.
I have also assigned a listener for the sole field in the form:
var input = document.getElementById ("new-email-address");
input.addEventListener ("keyup", function(event)
{
if (event.keyCode === 13)
{
event.preventDefault();
document.getElementById("new-email-address").click();
}
});
Yet, when I click the enter key, the $(document).ready (function() executes. It's possible something else is executing beforehand, but, if so, I haven't found a way to discover that.
What could be causing this behavior ?
It turns out that the enter key is being handled at the form level. To disable that, I added this code for each form:
$("#the-form").keypress(function(e)
{
if (e.which == 13) // Enter key
return false;
});

ASP.NET disable double click

I have a page where the user can enter data and on submit, it shows up on a gridview right below it.
How do I prevent double click. I understand I can disable the button but that would defeat the purpose as then, the user cannot enter more information without refreshing the page.
I add a class to all elements I dont want the ability to add a double click
$('.disableDoubleClick').dblclick(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
})
this question has been answered many times, just google disabling double clicking in asp.net
You could always disable the button and then use setTimeout to re-enable the button after second or two: http://jsfiddle.net/BJKy4/
$("#btn").click(function () {
var button = $(this);
button.prop('disabled', true);
setTimeout(function () {
button.prop('disabled', false);
}, 1000);
});

How to open a popup windows and cause a full postback in the parent window after closing the popoup?

In asp.net, I want to click on a button to open a popup windows. after the popup windows, I want to cause a full postback to the parent window.
How can I do this?
On your popup write the below script:
window.opener.PostBack();
// Where PostBack is the custom method of opener/parent window.
Either you can do it in OnUnload() event of your popup or from any other method followed by window.close();.
You can implement the PostBack() method like this in opener:
function PostBack() {
var btn = document.getElementById('<%=SomeButton.ClientID %>');
if (btn) btn.click();
// or
// __doPostBack('SomeButtonId','Arguments');
}

jQuery UI dialog increasingly calling the submit callback

I took the JQuery UI dialog form sample from JQuery UI website.
Since I wanted that, once the dialog is opened and the form is displayed, that pressing the key submits the form, I added the following in the onReady() :
$.extend($.ui.dialog.prototype.options, {
open: function() {
var $this = $(this);
// focus first button and bind enter to it
$this.parent().find('.ui-dialog-buttonpane button:first').focus();
$this.keypress(function(e) {
if( e.keyCode == 13 ) {
$this.parent().find('.ui-dialog-buttonpane button:first').click();
return false;
}
});
}
});
This does perfectly the trick (I mean the click() is triggered when it has to), but the following occurs :
When the form is first submited through a press on the key, the submission is performed once.
If I reopen the dialog, and submit it again with a press on the key, the form is submitted twice.
If I reopen the dialog, and submit it again with a press on the key, the form is submitted three times, and so on...
This can be tested with the following fiddle :
http://jsfiddle.net/fWW2E/
Let me add that doing so by clicking on the dedicated "Submit" button works properly, this fails only when pressing the key is involved.
Any ideas ?
Thank you !
Because since you're assigning this on "open" and your buttons are "closing" the dialog.
When this gets called though:
$('something').dialog('close');
doesn't actually remove the element, it just hides it. So the next time you click to open up a "new" dialog, you're really just showing the first one again. However the "open" event is getting fired again every time it's opened, which is adding a new keypress handler onto it.
Here's the fiddle. I actually write out to the console an array of the current handlers on that element. You'll see everytime you open the dialog that there is another keypress handler.

How to Disable Save As dialog in Firefox

How to disable Save As dialog while pressing Ctrl+S
Description: I am developing one web application.Here When i am going to form submitting using "Ctrl+S",In Firefox before submitting "save As dialog" will open.How to disable save As dialog in Firefox.
You can accomplish this by handling the window's onkeypress event to check whether the CTRL key and S are depressed, and if so, canceling the event from by calling preventDefault() on the event object:
window.onkeypress = function(event) {
if (event.charCode === 115 && event.ctrlKey) {
event.preventDefault();
// your code here....
alert("'Save As' dialog suppressed!");
}
};
Note that the keypress event may behave differently in different browsers. This did work in FireFox, however.
