Log off a web application

[gollnick]

This may sound dumb but is there any way for the user to shut down a web application OTHER than using Browser File/Close or using the X in the control box?
Thanks

There is a javascript that will close a browser window.

But only if the browser window was opened by the javascript too.

Actually no. It can close a window that the user opened themselves. Try this code in a blank HTML page that you open by double clicking it.

<a href="javascript:window.close();">Close This Window</a>

Of course, IE 6.x has a few security safeguards, so the user will need to answer Yes when asked if it's okay if the browser window is closed.

It's probably best if you keep the use of this to a minimum gollnick. Let the user decide if they want to close the window themselves.

Yeah that's sort of what I meant. I wasn't really clear I guess
