Session_OnEnd doesn't get called when shutting down a browser

[Aaron [SQL Server MVP]]

does eventually kill the orphaned session, does the server call the

session_onEnd sub?

No, this is not reliable (I believe I posted links to a F.A.Q. on this
already). Using a database, you could have a scheduled job that wakes up
every n minutes (where n is your session timeout) and manually logs off
anyone who has exceeded their timeout. These users are either idle or gone.
Combine that with a client-side "wake up before your session expires" (which
also is in a F.A.Q.) and you should eliminate the chance of screwing over
legitimate users.

Seriously, I really want to know how you propose preventing someone from
closing their browser using JavaScript.
