your statements/approach is pretty much what i've been thinking of. however,
with regards to the forums/cms apps.. i've yet to find one that actually
keeps a track of the logged in users, that works when the user kills the
browser..
the ones that i've seen, that allow an admin to see who's online, appear to
fail when i've killed the test user. the apps still show the killed user as
being online...
hence my isuue!
Bruce, what I have been trying to explain is that this _can_not_ be
overcome. The web is stateless. Connections between server and client
last only long enough for a file to be requested and sent, once that has
happened the server and client are no longer connected and have no
knowledge of each other. _No_ server-side program will be able to tell
you when a user closes their browser or goes to another web site. HTTP
simply doesn't provide what you are looking for.
