This wouldn't work because onUnload is called every time a page is unloaded, not just when the window is closed. A page is unloaded when you to another page of your site. This includes submitting a form, clicking on a link, using the back button, etc. You would be logging out your user from one page to the next.

Could one use this method to generally log out a user when they close their browser window? In other words could one put a <body onUnload="doPurge();"> in every page's header and then call some general taf that would clear that user's user variable when they close the window?

Ok
Place these files in the root 1. Run the TestPurge.taf 2. click on the "Call View" (will show the user var value) 3. click on the "Call popup" (will show the user var value in popup) 4. click close or press window X in popup window 5. click on the "Call View" (will show the user var empty this time)

I use a popup window in an application. The popup window is a taf that creates user variables. I need to use user variables in the popup as it creates a few large arrays and the taf branches back to itself, so I only want to create the arrays once.
Is there a way to purge specific user variables when a popup window is closed? FYI: the parent window would still be open, but may be a different taf than the original one that opened the popup. So I believe the popup would need to purge the user variables when it is closed.
Thanks
