how do I window.close after session.timeout

yongbum · Jun 10, 2006

Hi,
I have the following in code-behind Page_Load

Response.appendheader("refresh", convert.tostring(session.timeout * 60) & "; URL=Login.aspx")

instead of redirecting on timeout I'd like to do window.close. How do I do this ?

You need javascript for that. But i am not sure if when the line "window.close();" executes, that the window will be closed; A messagebox may popup to the user to confirm whether or not to close.
Also i do not know what happens if the user has not javascripting enabled.

It is better than closing the window, to redirect the user to the login page (the auth cookie will have expired when session ends).

Thanks TipGiver

What I did (and it works) is to redirect to a page which has <body onload="setTimeout('window.close()', 10);">
