Re: original question
Why not use Window.unload, that is fully cross platform (JavaScript 1.0)
and works both in <BODY> and <FRAMESET>?
For example what happens if a user opens up a frame in a new browser
window?
Also, why not just have the handler execute the logout for them? This
might also catch people who quit the browser also, since I presume (this
is a SWAG actually) that when a browser quits normally it cleans up after
itself -- closing windows, shutting down the JVM, etc.
