This might be a better solution than auto refreshing the page. Sorry, I don't have a URL but if you go digging around on their site, it shouldn't be hard to find.

Also, to show the users online, I simply do a "select" retrieve from the users table, and I delete an entry if the user logs out. But what if the user does not log out and simply closes the window - what have you done / or would do to delete the entry from the table? Is there a way to check all the cookies (I'm using cookie for login) and see if there is a certain value of the cookie that does not exist? If I could do that, then I could delete the entry...
