You could probably write a script that botted Moz back to the page if there was no detected mouse activity, but that could be troublesome if the person is writing a report and is using a website for a reference (no mouse or browser activity, but the page is being used). I'd say the best option is to set the homepage to the pre-defined site and have the students close the browser when they are done and just have the teacher go around in between classes (or a librarian if in the library/comp lab) and close all the browser windows that are still open (or hit the home button to return to the pre-defined site). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
