yup....I had this problem and this is the best way around it....
Put this code in your application.cfm:
<!---If user closes browser end session --->
<cfif IsDefined("Cookie.CFID") AND IsDefined("Cookie.CFTOKEN")>
<cfset cfid_local = Cookie.CFID>
<cfset cftoken_local = Cookie.CFTOKEN>
<cfcookie name="CFID" value="#cfid_local#">
<cfcookie name="CFTOKEN" value="#cftoken_local#">
</cfif>
This overwrites the session cookie written by CF (which has an expiry date =
the session timeout in the application.cfm or the session timeout set by the
CFServer) with a cookie with no expiry. Therefore it expires when ALL
innstances of the browser is closed. This means (I think!) that if you are
viewing the site in i.e. and you have another instance of i.e. open then you
will need to kill both in order for the session cookie to expire

Subject: OT: Killing Sessions on Closed Browser
Hey all,
I need to be able to kill a session/run a script when someone closes their
browser. But I cannot find a javascript command that handles this event
only. All of the commands I have found (onunload etc.) also run when someone
refreshes the page or hits the back arrow.
Has any of you run acrosse this problem? Is there a solution?
Oh, its OT because the web application that is using this is in Java
Thanks!
Gavin
