Hi All,
I am facing one issue related to session.
Suppose the user closes the window without Logging out, in firefox and in Safari (Mac OS) , the user will be automatically logged in,when they open a new window or a new tab.
Is there any way to identify the event of closing the window or tab, opening a new window or tab using javascript, evenif its opened using mouse or keyboard?
If any one know the solution, kindly help me.
Thanks in advance.

Rather than restricting the user opening new windows or tabs, just use a session timeout - after a period of inactivity, the user is automatically logged out. This saves the hassle of trying to detect events and other hacks.

Try to kill the session in the logout page.

That's an obvious solution, but did you read the OP's post? The problem is when users close the tab/window without logging out.

Some additional thought maybe required for this. The condition described should not be a problem.
First off you may not want to log users out just because they open a link on your page in a new tab. With tabbed browsers now being so common this probably happens often and would cause a lot of confusion for your users if they where logged out each time they selected "Open in a new tab"
Also if the user completely closes their browser then and then reopens it a new session ID should be getting generated for them. This is not entirely true with some new auto session recovering features. If they do still have the same session ID, and that is still valid (i.e. not timed out) then there should not be a problem.
If there session has timed out they should be getting forwarded to a login page.

You could trigger a request to the server to log the user out on the onunload event for the body tag. This is not really that reliable though.
But if i am using 'onunload' it will be affected in all the events fired in that page, which i don't want.I want to catch the event of closing window only, so that i can call logout on firing that event.
And it should work in all the browsers- IE,Firefox and Safari (Mac OS).

I don't think you can reliably catch the window close event.
What if the user accidentally closes the window? They'd be pretty miffed if they had to login again. What's wrong with a session timeout?

Hi all and thanks in advance,
I am stuck! I can't figure out how to identify which button was clicked on my ASP.NET page in the PostBack event? So what I am trying to do is to is to have an if statement like as follows in the PageLoad:
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) {
if (!Page.IsPostBack) {
//do something here
} else {

How do I get the name or identify the control that caused
the page postback. I need the information during page
init. Reason why, because I need to tell usercontrol_1
that usercontrol_2 button was clicked and therefore need
usercontrol_2 public properties to be passed to
usercontrol_1 public properties in the case of the event.
thanks

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
