Technically speaking, the onLoad is not supposed to fire until the
entire page has been loaded...
Some IE browsers (especially on the Mac) violate this, tho.
You could use a script at the end of the page, a meta tag refresh,
onUnload,, a button...
But, what if they have the browser page hidden or not currently displayed...
...lots of excuses to bail on you:
the text was too small
that portion of the pag was off the screen
I got interrupted and vever got back to it
Sounds like a case of "The dog ate my roster". You are not going to
solve this with a program or a script... a company policy and some
enforced compliance is required.
