Also a <BODY onUnload=""> solution isn't really
confirming that the whole<br>
page loaded. I need to post some info back to the server near the end of
the<br>
page without the user knowing. If I set up a form with an action
property<br>
targetting a hidden frame, some hidden form fields and put some
Javascript<br>
into the end of the page which submits the form data , the data should
go<br>
back to the server? I'm wondering if anyone has done this sort of
thing.<br>

Why not use an "I have read this" button that the user must
click?<br>
<br>
An alternative is an onUnload routine in the <BODY> tag... but,
yhis <br>
just means it was received, and that the user has moved on.<br>
