You actually can disable the button.But there are several limitations.The easiest way to do it, is if you opened the window (say with a window.open) and not the client. If the client opened that window,you can made an ActiveX to disable it, but of course,this add a bit more complication and if the user just didn't want to give permissions to your ActiveX, then it will not work.As I said before, the easiest way to do it, is opening you that window.

Thanks James, Pressing F5 it is working properly. But I will think about how can it work if user can click on the Refresh button using mouse. Thanks once again about your answer. It will also helpful for F5 kay pressing. Thanks & regards Priya.

Ohho.... sorry,I didnt get your question.Here comes two block of code for you. You can use any one of them if (document.all){ document.onkeydown = function (){ var key_f5 = 116; // 116 = F5 if (key_f5==event.keyCode){ event.keyCode = 27; return false; } } } here's how you disable f5, how this helps function checkKeyCode(evt) { var evt = (evt) ? evt : ((event) ? event : null); var node = (evt.target) ? evt.target : ((evt.srcElement) ? evt.srcElement : null); if(event.keyCode==116) { evt.keyCode=0; return false } } document.onkeydown=checkKeyCode;

You can use javascript code to make your refresh button disable. function disablebutton() { document.getElementById("btnrefresh").disabled= true; } Note: say btnrefresh is the id of your refresh button.
