partially disabling browser functionality...

[kabir393]

I am developing an online test application that lets users take online tests in a class room. During the duration of the test ( ie when the particular test portal is active ) I wish to disable some of the functionality in the browser like the Print, Save, Save As menus as well as prevent opening of new browser windows. The only way to use this functionality after the test is started is by pressing the "Submit" button that indicates the completion of the test and return to normal browser usage. Please can anyone help me with ideas on how that can be made possible. thanX

If you have access to the physical machines, you can lock them down: disable printing, saving files to disk, throw IE in "kiosk" mode... You can do this, because at that point they are effectively your machines. If you want to do this on other people's machines, via a web page, then you're barking up the wrong tree. They're not your machines, and so you don't get to have that kind of control over them.

You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.

I think, you can open the page in a modal window...
