I don't think you're allowed to do that. – Barmar Jan 02 '15 at 09:14

2You have no power to prevent user to close its own browser window. – Damjan Pavlica Jan 02 '15 at 09:17

1sounds spammy. If you legitimate reasons, you can ask the user if he/she really wishes to close the window. read more here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1565304/jquery-prevent-window-closing – maskie Jan 02 '15 at 09:17

why do you want to do that? Never make any site so user unfriendly.. So avoid that..., – annam priyatam Jan 02 '15 at 09:17

Answer 1: You can't do that. Browsers quite correctly don't let you. You can ask the browser to show a message when the user tries to close the tab/window, details in this answer, but the browser gives the user the option to go ahead and do it anyway.
Answer 2: You shouldn't do that. You have no right to trap a user on your page — not for one second, much less 30 seconds.
