So, you first destroy the session, and then open a popup window? Why? If you
destroyed the session, the user is already logged-out. Or do you destroy the
session also in a popup window? In that case you have another two usergroups
which can be a pain-in-the-ass:
a) users that don't have JavaScript activated
b) users (like me) that have a Popup killer
Maybe, with all these solutions together, we can create the perfect logout
script ;-))
