Hi,
Our application is built on Applet-Servlet communication. I define things to
be done on browser close event in the destroy() method of the applet. In my
case i send a logout msg to the servlet on browser being closed.

Subject: FOLLOWUP : Browser close event
Hi all --
Just thot of sharing this with you all ::
On NS the unload event does get called (though its documented as "not always
assured"). You need to write you own event handler and capture the unload
event for the window. Within the callback you can process some information -
like sending the request back.
What doesnt work on NS :
* putting up an alert message box in the callback.
* opening a new window with *relative* URL.
It was the second part which made me think unLoad just doesnt get called at
all ! I have tested this on NS 4.5+ - wonder if there is any dependancy on
prev versions of the browser.
Nick, using applets is a no-no in our case - but yes, seems a good solution.
