How to destroy the session Object ?

[mukund]

Hi,
When all the pages opened by a client browser are closed, the session variable needs to be destroyed.


Any Suggestions/Help is Welcome,

Thanks,
Mukund.

Surely when all the pages are closed by the client browser, the session is destroyed automatically.

Hi,
The session timeout is set to 5 hrs. SO even if the Browser window is closed, the session will close only after 5 hrs. I need something to close the session pre-maturely.

Regards,
Mukund.

Ah. I thought that a session was closed automatically regardless of the session timeout value when a client connection closed. -GTM Solutions, Home of USITE-

That is true.

Session.Timeout sets a new value to replace the 20 minute default, but the rule stays in effect that if the client browser is closed, then the session variables/objects are blown away for that particular session. They will not sit on the server's memory for five hours if the client closes all browser windows.

session.abandon will also do it, like Ovatvvon suggested.
