Hi Pam,

I use something like this: Seems to work okay in IE

function callLogoutScript(){
if (document.all){
if ((window.event.clientX < 0) && (window.event.clientY < 0)) {
// if the user clicks the close box to close the window
//call the logout page in a new window
window.open('logout.php', 'logOut', "");

}
}
}

Call it from the body tag like this:



Best regards,

Ray
