Open a window upon closing another

[Gram]

Hello,

I have a system whereby I'd like users to log off, however, some people
simply close the window.

Can anyone tell me how to call my 'log off' page when the main window is
closed?

Much appreciated for any help or ideas,

Gram

You can use the onunload event. There are limits to what you can do in
the onunload event. You will not be able to invoke a new page unless you
have a real old browser. I remember back when I was trying to quite
this game site and it put up two pages whenever I quite a page!!! I
ended up re-booting.

You can ask in a server forum about detecting dropped clients. Mabye you
can set a timer or detect when a session goes away.

There are limits using the `onunload' event handler itself, particularly
not present, disabled or restricted support for client-side scripting or
not supporting the "unload" event at all; using `onunload' is a bad idea.

Users need to log off. If they don't the session expires since the new
session ID will not match an existing session.
