I need to run the function "session.abandon" when the user leaves the website. For example I have the session to time out in 20 minutes. Instead of waiting 20 minutes before his session deletes, I want to delete it the second that he leaves or exits the browsing window of my site. I, along with others, figured out how to do it with a popup window on exit, but i dont like that at all. There has to be a diffrent way, but i am just not sure.... If anyone could help that would be great!

Read this page having the similar post.

The post you are reading now spawned from the post you suggested. gmoney060 is looking for a solution that does not involve pop up windows. XP SP2 apparently stops ALL pop up's. These properties can be tweaked, however gmoney060 does not want to do any tweaking. A great deal of sites out there use pop up windows including things like internet banking. Blocking ALL pop up windows dramaticly reduces resources available on the www.

Submitting a hidden form onUnload (beware, this gets called on refresh also) to the page calling a session.abandon() has also been suggested. This works for me, in fact I use both methods in different situations. I am most interested to hear the top techo's take on this one.

In regard to our previous discussions on the SP2 pop up issue:
XP service pack 2 does not stop user triggered new window functions.
