FAQ Topic - How do I log-out a user when they leave my
site?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This cannot be done reliably. Here's why:
*
The user may disable javascript so the log-out script will
never execute.
*
The user may not be on-line when they close your web page.
*
Javascript errors elsewhere in the page may prevent the script
executing.
*
The browser may not support the onunload event, or may not fire
it under certain circumstances, so the log-out function will
not execute.
