Abstract
This invention is directed to a system and method for tracking sessions for web-based applications. The system and method comprise a browser disposed on an associated data terminal and having at least one browser window associated therewith. The browser is adapted to generate at least one interactive session with an associated web server. The system and method also comprises at least one session tracking application associated with an interactive session. The session tracking application includes monitoring means adapted for monitoring activity on the associated interactive session and testing means adapted for determining whether monitored activity includes an unload event. The session tracking application also includes termination means adapted for terminating the associated interactive session upon a determination of a selected unload event and notification means adapted for notifying the associated web server to close out the interactive session.
