Thanks for the reply. Let's assume that the action is in fact a click on the "logout" button/menu item (I've looked into the onbeforeunload event already, ugh.); I'm not quite sure how to intercept the action. Do I need to add a handler to the menu item, have it call form.submit(), do the right things in my controller and then finally call logout by hand? Or is there a "better" way to do it?
