Hi !
I can give U some advise, i hope it helps.
The first problem about closing the window can be done including in the body
tag like this:
<body
onUnload="self.location.href='http://www.somewhere.com/servlet/YourServlet?p
aram=1' ">
BUT i don't understand why to use it.
If i am right (please someone correct me if i am not) if U use session
tracking the session
will AUTOMATICALLY be invalidated and all objects related to that session
unbounded when
you CLOSE THE WINDOW.
About te second question i don't know if U can prevent the user about seeing
the html source.
So i advise U not to think about a JavaScript solution.
As i understand your problem is when the user doesn't want to accept
cookies.
There is another way to do the session tracking:
URL rewriting. I don't know much about it either.
I don't know about accepting cookies does your client has diceded not to use
them or
U are thinking about when accepting cookies is disabled in the browser.
I have seen many pages with messages like this:
"Something not working ? Set your browser to accept cokkies. "
Best wishes,
Andras
