Code is
<i>
</i> function funLogOff(){
var y = window.confirm("Do You Want to Log Off !!!");
if (!y) {
return false;
} else {
window.parent.close();
}
}



Regards

there are 2 frames..and the event is triggered when the user clicks on one of the links in one of the frames..

That probably will not help much as few browsers support onblur on windows since the standards say that onblur is only valid for form fields and links. It may fix it for Firefox but the problem will still be there for other brwsers.

Success!
