Demonstration

First of all, create a new ASP.NET page in your favorite IDE and add an instance of the ScriptManager to it. Make sure you configure the ScriptManager to enable Page Methods.

Listing 1

<asp:scriptmanager id="ScriptManager1" runat="server" enablepagemethods="true" />

Next, we will subscribe to the unload event of the body tag of the ASP.NET page and assign a callback method to be called when this event fires.

Listing 2

<body onunload="HandleClose()">

The HandleClose function is placed within the Head section of the page.

Listing 3

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
  //<![CDATA[
  function HandleClose() 
   {
     alert("Killing the session on the server!!");
      PageMethods.AbandonSession();
   }
   //]]>
</script>

As you can see, the function shows an alert message box informing the user that the session will be killed on the server side. Then it makes a call to the AbandonSession server side method that is a Script-enabled method. For more information about the Page Methods in AJAX 1.0, make sure you check the AJAX documentation.

On the server side, all that you have to do is define the AbandonSession method and add to it the WebMethod attribute.

Listing 4

[WebMethod]
public static void AbandonSession()
 {
   HttpContext.Current.Session.Abandon();
 }

The above line of code makes sure that the session is now cleared and causes the Session_End event, which is defined inside the Global.asax to fire.

Inside the Global.asax you can place any code you want to execute when the session ends.

That is all what you have to do to run any server side code when the browser is closed by the user!

Hope this snippet is helpful and that you have enjoyed it!!

Hi rex,

The AbandonSession method has to be in your .cs file. For example if you have demo.aspx and demo.aspx.cs files. AbandonSession method would be in demo.aspx.cs file.

In demo.aspx you need to include the Listing1, Listing2 and Listing3.

It's working.

For me in HandleClose() funtion didn't work:
if(window.event.clientY < 0 && window.event.clientY < -80)

So I used:
if (window.event.clientX < 0 || window.event.clientY < 0)

and with this works.

Hello,
this code is nicely done , it works fine but there are some bug : the event onunload do not fire only when the browser window is closed , in fact it's related to any action that makes the page body "empty", and since that , it fires also when you refresh the page....

Bilal , i need to kill the session when i close the window but not when i refresh my page

one other side : if you use window.event.clientY or window.event.clientX , suppose the user closed his window using Alt+F4 and not with X ... is that handled :D :D :D

I was using a procedure similar to Angelo's where I was changing the LOGIN_STATE in a SQL Server database to prevent the user from running concurrent sessions.

Tushar's solution works really well as is for IE.
I'm using a Master page and placed the script in the master page. I called Session.Abandon() in the Page_Load event of AbandonSession.aspx and got the Session_End event to fire when I closed my browser so I can do whatever database updates I needed. Again mode="InProc"

I'm still unable to modify the script to work with firefox though.

I kill my session objects on browser close as below....
The request is being made by the friendly xmlhttp object.

You can create an AbandonSession.aspx and on its PageLoad kill the Session object by calling Session.Abandon. The code below is written for IE. You can adapt the routine for firefox or other browsers.

//Abandon Session
window.onbeforeunload= function() {
if(window.event.clientY < 0 && window.event.clientY < -80)
{
var xmlhttp;
if (window.ActiveXObject) { // IE
xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
xmlhttp.open("GET","AbandonSession.aspx",false);
xmlhttp.send();
}
}
};

Let me know if this was helpful.

your solution basically has problems,
it may work if you have one page application with refresh button and F5 button blocked and session mode is inproc.

for web farm scenario or outproc session, it would fail, because session_end is not available in global.asax

everything about the browser's x and y close button and the unload event etc etc on the browser work's very fine to me cause im working with my auto log-out features on my site but suddenly i found some problems on it.

- why not logout if the user's computer turns off or some power source runs out w/o triggering the close button?

- why not logout if im not only using firefox,ie(standard browsers) but also safari(it does'nt trigger javascript unload events) or other browser?

here are just some of my suggestions and comments regarding of that demonstration's you make.if that meets my requirements i would be glad to use it for my site cause im really really looking for some "realistic" here...
Title: hey am using JSP

Correct me if am wrong... OnUnload event is trigerred when the window navigate to other pages and not when the window close when [x]close button is clicked.

I used jsp tags embeded in my html. When a user logged-in, it trigers an event that causes a field in my database (LOG-IN STATUS) to be in logged-in state, so when someone try to log-in with the same username and password (let say, he/she intentionally know your password) that user will be automatically redirected on other apge because a user is currently logged-in or using that account.
HERE'S THE SCENARIO---
When the user, while logged-in accidentally closes the window or when the window is left unmoved, the session is automatically killed. So, when the user tries to access his/her account, he will be again ask to log-in. The problem was, he never logged-out, thus the LOG-IN STATUS in the dbase still is still in LOG-IN STATE. Meaning, the user will ot be able to log-in until the is changed directly on the dbase...?
So, how can i chnage my LOG-STATE when the user accidentally closes the window or when the session expired?
I tried using on unload, but as a stated, it is triggered by browsing to other page and not when closing the window.
...

thanks, hope you can help, even though you're all using ASP..

Title: problem with close and Page Methods   
Name: Imran
Date: 2008-01-07 2:35:14 AM
Comment:
I have found this article very usefull in one of my scenarios. But in one scenario it doesn't work.
I have a window which open another window. the Child window has this onclose script attached on it. The close script saves the size and location of child window in user profile and parent window loads this info on postback to open the child window on its previous location. The flow which is bouthering me is as follows
1. open child window
2. resize/move the child window
3. close the child window
4. postback the parent window
5. open the child window again
6. resize/move the child window
7. close child window
8. postback parent window
on the 8th step the parent window doesn't completes the postback. the little microsoft icon animates as the browser is requesting something from server but it never completes the request.
I have tried the same code after detaching the close event from the child window and attaching it to a button onclick on the child page and it works fine.
I think there is some problem with the incomplete pageMethod call which occurs in on the close window.

So, it should be (window.event.clientY < -80)

Also, i would like to know from anyone that how much we can rely on onunload method. Because i have seen many times that onunload event fires sometimes and sometimes it does not fired. Any feedback will be appreciated.

Comment:
It's true that the onUnload event fires each time the page is refreshed or navigating to another page. To prvent this add the statement below which will check if the page itself is closed:

function HandleClose()
{
if(window.event.clientY < 0 && window.event.clientY < -80)
{
alert("Killing the session on the server!!");
PageMethods.AbandonSession();
}
}

THis will prevent the function from executing until the window (Browser) is closed

Comment:
This article was really helpful. Most users find it difficult to use or see the logout button in a web app and usually just close the browser with the close button. It's very annoying you know? then the server has to wait for the session to time out before actually killing the session, imagine hackers out there just waiting to hijack user sessions, although this might be a lil difficult with the ViewState that microsoft has introduced. But all the same the article was really great.

Name: Josh Stodola

Comment:
Hi Bilal, I am here to help.

This article seemed promising, but unfortunately the javascript chain of events is going to cause undesired results. As already mentioned in the comments, it will fire when the page is unloaded, which will occur every time you leave the page/a postback occurs, etc. The reason it will behave this way is becuase you are handling the unloading of the body tag. With that in mind, it does make perfect sense why it behaves the way it does. As soon as you change the page, the old body goes away, and a new body is loaded.

With that in mind, how about handling the unload of the WINDOW itself? Here is an example for you, I will leave it up to you to test it:

window.onunload = function() {
alert("Killing the session on the server!!");
PageMethods.AbandonSession();
}

Hope this helps, my friend.

Best regards...

Title: onunload Fires Every Time You Leave a Page   
Name: Sumo
Date: 2007-07-24 9:19:02 AM
Comment:
Unfortunately, the code in this article will not work. The onunload event fires every time you leave a page, so you'll be abandoning the session all the time.

I really don't think there is a single solid solution to prevent issues with lingering sessions. It's the nature of the Web beast. The only real solution is to set absolute expiry on sessions, but practically, that doesn't make sense in most situations. It's a balance between security of the session (preventing replay) and user experience (not logging them out automatically every 5 minutes).

Hi All,
Another option for this case is that you use a keep alive functionality in your web application. after implementing keep alive, u can keep your session expire time to a short interval, say 1 or 2 mins. through this u can check for the session after every 1 or 2 mins and abandon it accordingly

"The answer was always, the browser will only fire a client side event and the server side cannot be notified when the page is closed."

The answer is still the same regardless of whether we have "new" AJAX methods in ASP.NET. AJAX is only javascript (and has therefore been around a long, long time) so the concept of notifying the server when the client closes still remains the same.

The problem is that there are multiple scenario's when no matter what you do, the server will not know that the client has "left" your website. Some of these are:

1) The user has javascript disabled
2) The user's browser doesn't support javascript
3) The user kills the browser process
4) The user turns off their machine or has a power cut

So, not matter what "solution" you use there will always be times when your functionality doesn't work. Bearing this in mind, you have two options:

1) Create a solution that will work in some, but not all, cases.
2) Work around this limitation and don't create your site that relies on something happening in the future session life-cycle.

I much prefer option #2 which is why I recommend it and why you always hear the same answer (as in your original quote above) in the forums.

"On the server side, all that you have to do is define the AbandonSession method and add to it the WebMethod attribute."


What is this webmethod attribute you speak of?

Hi,

One proposed solution is to use the mouse pointer to locate the window close button "X". Off course this will be purely based on the mouse movement but then you should also consider the chances of user resizing the window and then closing it. So, basically what is required is to get the mouse coordinates based on the openned browser window.

Title: onUnLoad is fired on Refresh and Postbacks

Hi Bilal,

The problem with onunload is that it will be fired even if you refresh the page or fire an ASP.NET postback event from any server side button.
