Hi Jack!
This can be done as follows using javascript:
To the page with the logoff button, add the following:
In the <head> section:
In the <body> tag:
logout.jsp is a file that logs the user logoff time when it is requested from the server. (you can of course use your own file if you want.)
In the logout.jsp <body> tag, add the following:
This will make the window close when it is done loading.
So now when the user closes his browser window, a new window will open, requesting the logoff page, and then close as soon as it is loaded.
Hope this helps.
regards,
Blaxo

you can also do this by using the event onbeforeunload of the HTML tag.. but this event i think is only implemented on the IE 6.. this is more usefull if you need to do more especific things when the user close the page.. or you need more control on the log out event. this way you can stop the page from closing,redirect to other place, etc.
The script I proposed doesn't seem to work right, since it calls the function logout() every time the page is changed, not only when the browser window closes... it only works right when your web application is in a frameset page that never changes, and the
is in the
tag.
