Hi!

How can my web application recognize that the user closes the browser window by clicking the "x" on the top right? I want to delete a cookie that my application sets, when the user leaves the application. I have a logging-off-function, that deletes the cookies, but this can only happen when the user clicks the "log off" button. But what if when s/he just closes the browser without logging off?

Thanx!
Rondra

Put whatever the button does in the OnUnload method of the body.

<BODY OnUnload=&quot;SameAsButtonClick();&quot;>

That is run even when the &quot;x&quot; is clicked.So it should work for you
