Brian, this is a great snippet!!! Thanks. I have been wondering how to force the session to die without an explicit logout. This will definately do the trick.

I don't actually remember where.... but it works great. ----- this is what I use --- <!--- At times developers are frustrated that the session does not end when the user closes their browser-that they must wait for the session to time out. If you've found yourself wishing for this behavior in session variables, you'll be happy to know that you can implement this very easily: ---> <cfif IsDefined( "Cookie.CFID" ) AND IsDefined( "Cookie.CFTOKEN" )> <cfset localCFID = Cookie.CFID> <cfset localCFTOKEN = Cookie.CFTOKEN> <cfcookie name="CFID" value="#localCFID#"> <cfcookie name="CFTOKEN" value="#localCFTOKEN#"> </cfif> <!--- Place this code right beneath your <cfapplication> tag. This code first checks to see if the cookies CFID and CFTOKEN exist. Remember that ColdFusion will try to set these as cookie variables in the <cfapplication> tag. If they are there, set by <cfapplication> (and due to the peculiar way cookies operate, they will appear to be present even if the user has their cookies turned off), the value of these cookies will be read into two local variables. Then the pair of cookies will be overwritten, using the same values they had previously, but this time deliberately omitting the expires property of the <cfcookie> tag. Leaving off the expires property causes the cookie to remain in the browser memory, but not to be written to the user's disk. When the browser is closed, the cookie information goes with it and, by inference, so goes the session. ---> ---------------------------- At 02:04 PM 5/10/02 +0800, you wrote: > hihi.. where am i suppose to put this.. if i want to set cookie to expire when browser close.?? > ><cfcookie expires="NOW" name="CFID" value="#cookie.cfid#"> > >is it at application.cfm? > > >cheers >han > > ______________________________________________________________________ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
