Session.Timeout

Can any one please tell how to track session.timeout in ASP?

 

Please tell me how is it possible with a Text File??

 

I have a session variable(Session("Username")) to store the name of the user logged on. The session time out is set to 10 minutes. If the session of any user is idle to 9 minutes i want to automaticallylog him outand store the log outdetailsin a table.


As at the endof 10 minutes the Session variables are empty which makes difficult to update the logout details.


I use login and logout details of the user to display the names of allthe users who have logged on.
Hope the above expalnation helps to get me a solution.

Following is what i want to achieve using Classic ASP

I want to store the login and logout details of the the user with their name,using my application under following cirumstances:

• User does not use the logout button closes IE
• Session varaible expires

What logout details are you trying to log? I would recommend recording all details during their session instead of during session_end, there are a lot of issues with trying to capture the session_end event.

Well even if you use the global.asa file it wont know the users ID .. i tried everything but when a session ends it is gone ..
Using Application Variables wont work either ..

Perhaps use a text file to do the work ..?

Then there is JavaScript .... this is just an idea so dont flame me .. /emoticons/smile.gif

Open a New Window such as an ASP page that logs out the user ..
You could even center it and have some text saying Logging out .. throw in a timer and then it closes once the timer ends

Main Logged In Page:

 

Thanks a lot roryknowles,the logic worked..

This resolves the problem of updating the database when the user closes the browser window.

I want to log out the user just before the session expires. If the Session time out is set to 10 mins i want to log him out in 9 mins. I tried using counters ,it worked. But i am facing problems in coordinating between the counters on different frames.

My page has three frames and i have counter on all the pages. The page should be redirected to the login page only if the valueson all the counters is equal to 1.

I tried using "window.document.formname.counter.value"to retrieve the values,but it does not work.

Please help me out.

Hi, what are the names of all the frames that have counters ..?

Also, i take it this is all being done in javascript at this point?

The names are frame1,frame2 & frame3

 

have you tried ..

parent.frame2.Myobject

where myobject is the javascriupt function or embedded object ..
and frame2 is the frame you are trying to control ..
