I have employed similar solutions too as simply displaying the error, closes the dialog anyways. The solution is a bit flaky but it is what it is.
I just wish they would have not displayed that close box in a dialog in the mid-tier.

We've done a variation of that, where the field maps back to the form only when they did actually save (and not cancel or "X" out) - if they field is blank we pop an error message and conveniently re-open the form for them.

We want to make the risk questionnaire required. This means the user will not be allowed to close the dialog until it is filled out. Is there a way to prevent a user from closing a dialog box on the web? In our testing we found you can hit the "X" in the corner to get around our requirement. We have the option unchecked in the active link called "Show Close Button". This works as desired on the User tool. However, on the mid tier the user is presented with an option of "Leave this Page" or "Stay on this Page". Any way to prevent this or any workarounds out there? I have a gut feeling the answer is "No" because it is built in the browser to prevent this very scenario because of pop-up ads.
