Is there a way I can bring up the normal windows Log Off prompt using Javascript (as if users have pressed Start > Log Off)?


Cheers/...

I do hope you have no bad intentions with doing so.
Javascript is 'in browser' only and cannot perform the action you seek to do, this would be a serious security leak if you would be able to execute such a command with js.

what if you created a signed applet that took up 1x1 pixels in the bottom corner... then you can do pretty much anything i think. It has to be signed though and the user has to accept the certificate... dunno if that is a problem or not, nor do i know for sure if you can log someone off, but i would think it is do-able. Kind of a real pain and a stretch, but if it is really important that you do this logoff thing, then it's worth a try.

Do not mixup javascript with java, they are not the same.
JS cannot perform you request.

i'm not... i know js can't do what he wants... that is why i said use an applet which is java and if it is signed it can run system commands on the user's pc ;)
