If I base an activity on a sessionOrder variable say pull items from a warehouse based on the UserID. If the logged in user does not commit to keep those items and generate a new session variable? Then closes the browser without logging out. Then the uncommited items are left in limbo. I can return uncommited items to stock on the OnLogout event and when the user does a return Login. However the user may not return for some time period leaving the warehouse short with uncommited stock figures.
Heres the question. Is there a way to detect a user closing down the browser without doing a proper logout? Would I have to initiate some sort of server script to clean up the items. Any ideas would be most appreciated. ASP Templates
TIA Damian Small

All I can come up with is to write login time into a database and using
a scheduled script check if sessions have timed out and then run some code.

Like a clean up script that runs if the line item has been out of store for say 20 minutes and remains uncommited. Any suggestions on how I could do a server side script.

I'd wonder why vary you the stock levels for uncommitted orders.
An uncommitted order by a browsing client is like me window
gazing in the mall, isn't it - there's no transaction anywhere yet?
No storekeeper I know pulls stuff off the shelf just because I looked at it.
Tell me more....

The concept is like walking around a store filling a shopping cart and the shopper abandons the cart and leaves the store. The shelves have to restocked with the unpaid for items. A user may close the browser without a logout event and leave uncommitted stock in the virtual shopping cart. I think Ive found a solution by using the global.asa to cleanup.
