And I want to make sure that it really logged of from the server no matter how many other same window is open. By the way I am using unix login system in my web page.

POP-ups should now be avoided....

Avoid pop-up windows, why? As surfers are now suppressing pop-ups, this feature is now integrated into the google toolbar, and many ISPs are adding this as a new feature.

So how do you do it? Using frames, both hidden and visible to give your members feedback.

You can post to a frame like this:
<form ACTION="yourcode.php" METHOD="POST" NAME="yourform" target="hidden_frame_name">

Both target and action can be changed dynamically client side using JavaScipt like this:

document.yourform.target="user_feedback_frame";
document.yourform.action="other.php";

Hope that helps...
