texte = I can't use the [protect] tag, since the customer needs to be able to setup new passwords for his new clients. That and it wont make any difference.He needs a log-out button, that will enable the user of his site to simply log-out. This site shows sensitive information, about account numbers and $$ amounts. He is afraid that a user might leave the browser on and some one else might access the site's sensitive information.Internet Explorer, remembers your username and password until you access a new password protected site, or until you close your browser.If you are in mysite.com and then access lets say yahoo.com and click the back button, then you still have access to the site's password protected section. It will not ask you for the username and password again.I need to put a button on the site that on click will log you out of the site, so that if you try to access the password protected site, it will ask you for your username and password again.Art----- Original Message ----- From: Glenn Busbin

Netscape doesn't do that. MS. Go figure.Use protect instead and see if that helps with whatever you're trying to do with a log in/out.Glenn ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
