How to "Un-authenticate" a user from a Basic Authenticated, sessionless site

Hello.

I have a web site that is using Basic Authentication (yes, I am using HTTPS)
and is sessionless (I am maintaining session state in a database via a
custom component).

When the user clicks "Log Off", or when a cookie expires, I want to
Un-Authenticate the user so that he/she cannot back-pedal to a page without
having to sign in again.

Basically, I want to clear the users credentials.

Anyone know how?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Hi, Curt.

The site is sessionless, so there is no Session object.

My bad... thought you were storing the credentials there.
Basically, if they authenticate the security ticket is issued. Short of
closing the browser there isn't a whole lot (that I'm aware of) that you can
do to clear this.
It's why you always see the nice warnings about making sure you close your
browser.

Hello all. Can someone help out ? I found this PHP code that works just fine, however, I am trying to put it back into its original Javascript form. I am still learning the syntax, etc. for Javascript, so I'm not really sure what needs to be removed and kept. I was trying the basic search/replaces, but always ended up with Javascript errors.

Hello all, On occasion I want to open hyperlinks (images, etc.) in a new window. In the past, I've used target="_blank" to open the link in a new window. However, using the "target" attribute causes my pages to fail validation (strict doctype). The validator says "There is no attribute 'target'.." So...how do I open a link in a new window, without Javscript, and pass strict validation?
