the unload and onbeforeunload events will always be triggered when you leave the page and they have no corresponding event source ...

is it a popup window or the main browser window where you need a handling?

hi,
thanks for reply. I need this in main window.

hmm ... in this case you could just use onbeforeunload/onunload to call a js-function to do something when the user navigates away from your page ... there is no real/reliable posibility to capture the close-event of the main window ...

popup windows have a close-property that you might ask for and there you could check for it ...

hi ...

are the flags javascript-variables? aren't they cleared anytime you leave the page?

hi,
they are not javascript flags.
the flags belongs to database(SQL server2005).
in my project if any user logged into the system the flag will become true to that corrspond user.this i did in the page_load event.
if the user logged out the flag will be reset to false.
unfortunately if the user close the window without logging out the flages in the DB remains the same.The next time he can't login to the page.
i tried in unload and onbeforeunload for every time the page gets postback these events are getting triggered.

typically you may use a session or a cookie for such purposes. everytime the user performs an action you update a timestamp and when he doesn't do something for a certain amount of time you just log him out and he has to login again ...

ya im using session. by default 20min. if the user doesn't have intraction for 20min the session will be expired, after 20min if he click on some controls it will be redirected to login screen there im clearing the flag in the DB.but the major issue is when he click the close button the session will automatically gets cleared by the browser but the userflag remains same in the DB.

if a user is trying to login why don't you always reset the flag first and clear the session in case he has one? or use a mechanism that resets the flag when there is a 'good' time for it ... may be you retrieve the logged in users sometimes ... with that process reset all userflags where no corresponding session is found ... that could be done for example when the login-page loads?

hi,
do you know about asp.net
in this one event handler is there for handling the application_end event

void Application_End(object sender, EventArgs e) 
    {
        //  Code that runs on application shutdown     
    }

but its not getting triggered properly.

unfortunatly i'm not familiar with asp.net ... i would suggest that you would ask the question in the .NET forum ...
