Thanks Lasse for your quick answer...i<ll try your solution and let
you know...yeah you<Re right i tried everything to make my confirm
dialog go away after 1 minute and couldn't. So i'm gonna try you way
and see what happens.
For my 1st question, i do have a logout method, is there any way that
i could use this instead of calling session_end() to force the user to
logout when he exits the application???
Thanks a lot once again....
