unload()

[Pierre Laporte]

I would like to use the unload() event to keep users in my pages unless they
click on the EXIT button I put in my web application.
Can anyone help me there, especially how I can differentiate the click on a
form button or on a URL that belongs to my web app from the click on
browser's buttons like Back, Next, Refresh...
Thanks.
Pierre

Not possible. http is stateless, live with it.

(So have your application time out logins rather then waiting for users to
log out explicitly)

With all due respect: how bloody rude. They have just left your site, let
them. This is just like locking the door on your shoe shop when you see a
customer about to walk out. You will guarantee that visitors never come
back.

You can't.

You also can't tell if your viewer has simply turned her computer off.
