No mostly It doesnot!. And if in the worst case it does u can set the
Session timeout to the minimum possible time say 5 min etc so that the USer
can go back to work atleast after 5 min. See even OS like NT have some
timelimit when u enter wrong password for some tries say after 3 tries it
locks your a/c for some time say 5-15 min. So that can be done here also.
One more thing you can do is have a Logout Button so that the user
can manually make sure u have logged out just like in email sys.
But I feel thinking that just because IE fails we must not incorporate
that feature will be a big Mistake. U must think abt the time when it does
not fail & the ease it will provide. & if it fails our Session timeout put
to the minimum is always there to help us out.
