session not being killed after user closes browser

[Rafael Chemtob]

Hi,
I'm using session cookies on my web app and it looks like the session is not
being killed when the user closes the browser. We use a Global.asa file on
our app. Do we have to explicitly write to close the session or does it get
killed when the user is closes their browser?

Please advise.

The server does not "know" when a user closes his browser, so it cannot kill
a session when that occurs. there are only two situations where the server
will kill a session:

1. A page issues a Session.Abandon command
2. The session times out

hi,
is there a possibility of doing this on unload event of window, use
session.abandon method?
thanks,

You would have to perform a request to the server from the unload event.
session.abandon is a server-side scripting function.
