You can use the jQuery unload() command to send an AJAX call to the server to kill the session.

There is no easy way to do it. The session is maintained on the webserver. What typically happens is that the serevr kills a session if there has been no activity for that session for 20 mins. You can try reducing that time out.

You might be able to do a javascript where when a user tries to close the browser, it sends out an xmlhttprequest to the webserver to close the session. But then if the user loses internet connection before closing the browser, the session will stay active until it times out.
