If this isn't the proper forum, sorry. What I need to accomplish is:
20 users will logon, generate a user name & password, and then I need to track how long they spend on a page (there may be 20 pages and I'll need to know how long on each) Is this possible?
Again, sorry if I posted in the wrong forum.

Yes that's quite possible, most forums have something along those lines, how to do it depends eniterly on what server-scripting your using and what database system.

You can calculate the differance in time from when a specific page is loaded until the next page is served.

You cna use Session variables, cookies, text files, databases, etc to temporarily store this data.

Use the HTTP_REFERER server variable to determine the file which was being viewed.
