At present it all works nicely - users click a link which sends a request to my computer to open a chat channel for them. If my app is running then a chat channel is opened, if not, they are apologised to profusely. Once the chat channel is opened we can talk fine - new users will initiate a separate chat channel. Here's the javascript bit: I have a page called "logoff.asp" which is supposed to clear the application variables (oh boy, that's important!). I can invoke the page by having a user click on "exit" from the chat window, but if the user exits by clicking the cross at the top right of the window the page isn't called! BAD! I am trying to use onUnload="window.open('logoff.asp')", but it doesn't work! I thought the point of onUnload was to catch users clicking on the cross? Perhaps the problem is that my onUnload is in the wrong place. I gather you can use it in a FRAMESET, which is where I have it. The chat window has two frames. Default.asp has two frames; display.asp, and message.asp. The "exit" link is in message.asp, and works fine for invoking logoff.asp, but onUnload in the FRAMESET in default.asp doesn't work. Where am I going wrong? Cheers! Erin	Erin Salmon (626)
