Hello... I want to record all logins and logouts. The problem occurs
when a user CLOSES the browser without clicking the Logout link. How
will I record the "logout time" using javascript? (I'm using PHP to on
the server side.) PLEASE reply...

Or he might surf away to another page.

I think your best option is a timer on page-level, so that a session
automatically expires if a given time interval of inactivity is
exceeded.

If your application is running in a popup-window, and the only
reasonable action besides clicking a logout-button is closing the
popup, then you could use something like this:

<body onUnload="alert('leaving page...');">

Hope this helps,

Yes, ... and if user presses Backspace, right-click > previous, resend
form, right-click > next, click previous-button, click next-button,
etc. That's why I said "reasonable action"; I think one should only use
it if the app runs in a popup window with right-click disabled, perhaps
disable keys F5, Backspace, CTRL-KEYs, etc.
