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 ;-)) Grtz Erwin
