Invalidating the session in all browsers on closing the window

[Pooja Chetty]

I want to invalidate the session on closing the browser screen. I tried using onBeforeonLoad Method of form and event's in jsp but it is not working for all the browsers.

I want to do that in Morzila,Opera and IE through jsp's Can any one help in this regard

Thanks in Advance

onBeforeonLoad is this the method name??

as you say its not working.. behalf on it are you getting any error. please check javascript Console inside the tool menu of Firefox after run jsp. if it is then paste it here, it could be more easier to figure out the problem.

just come in mind..

use Unload event inside body or in form element.

Saifu,
Thanks for the reply. But yet i am not able to do because i am getting the following error in the java console on use of windoe.event/window.Event

Error: event is not defined

now your query is no more related with JSP becuase right now you getting an error inside your javascirpt file..

Suggestion :
It better to move you question in HTML/JAVASCRIPT forum to get the better response on your query.

For the 17th bazillion time, you cannot reliably do this. Be sure that your web app can deal with orphaned sessions.

Sorry i didnt understand what you are trying to say. Is there no way to invalidate the session in Mozilla or Opera through JS once browser is closed?

[Bear Bibeault]

That is correct. There is no way to be reliably informed that the browser has closed. Your app must be able to deal with this situation.
