you have to use some sort of cookie or session. I don't know any other way.

on click of the logout button, redirect to an another file namely "logout.asp",

where u code the following..

<%
'null all session variables
session("username") = ""
'then redirect to the page that u want or close..
response.redirect("login.asp")
%>

You can use that, however if like me it is not working for you then there is this code.

It prevents the user going back via using the back button. It however has a limitation that it doesn't support all browswers but does support the popular ones.

Place the code in the head.

Code:

 <script language="javascript"> 
window.history.forward(1);
</script>

Like this:

Code:

 <html><head> 
<script language="javascript">
window.history.forward(1);
</script>
<title>login</title></head>
<%
Response.Expires = -1
Response.CacheControl = "Private"
%>

The problem with this method is that it prevents the use of the Back button even when the user is legitimately logged in.

snipered - also, if that method is not working for you, you are probably not handling the session correctly. This means that unauthorized users could gain access to your login.
