Why are you thinking so complicated? A simple 1x1 pixel iframe that goes to a refresh.cfm page should do the trick. And the page can be refreshed using javascript or meta refresh without affecting the main page that the user is working on.

I can't think of a way to post it to the action page 'automagically after logging the user back in though... *takes a short break to let brain churn* I guess if the data was passed to the action page (by any means necessary), it could always be put back into the form scope there and wouldn't really NEED to be 'posted'. Hmmm Definitely some good ideas along those methods too. Thanks. ...:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

Let me try to describe this: 1. User logs in and session is created. 2. User types long form, needs a smoke break and takes off for a two-hour lunch. 3. The session times out. 4. The user returns and finishes typing the form and submits it. 5. The application.cfc/.cfm catches the form submission, and checks to see if the session exists. 6. The session does not exist, so the form data is "packaged" in WDDX or is stored in hidden form fields. 7. The user gets a login screen to re-authenticate. The form data is passed along as well. 8. Once authenticated, the form is then posted to the originally-requested action page. Don't ask for code because I have not done this before, but it sounds like it should work, huh?

In that case, they are sent to the login form and the forms "post" is lost. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
