Catch Lost Session

[Kit Truong]

Is there any way in ASP to catch a destroyed session when the user closes
their window.

Example.

- When a user enters a page, I create a session - Session("blah")="blah"
- However when the window is closed, the session is destroyed, but before
it's being destroyed, I want to some things....

Any thoughts?

This is not true.

Sub Session_OnEnd()
'''your code
End Sub

in global.asa in the application root.

session_onend is not a good place to put any code. It doesn't fire reliably.
Better find somewhere else to run code which does any clean up you might
need.

There is no way for the web server to know that you have closed a browser
down.
