Make image.cfm. <img name='session' src="image.cfm"> <cfcontent type="image/gif" file="some1PixelGIF"> Add CFHEADER for expires so it always goes back to the server.... Then you can make a JS in your page, which does this: // every 10 minutes setInterval("document.images['session'].src='image.cfm';",6000000); This will keep the session alive... -----Original Message----- From: Dan G.

Then you like making life hard. ;) While an frame would be the most compatible, and IFRAME should really work in every modern browser (doesn't work in Netscape 4, but if you need that you could use an ILAYER tag for NS4.) Seriously, an IFRAME would be the best way to go. >2) It wouldn't allow for seamlessly 'alerting' the user about a session >that I might not be able to 'reset' and keep alive. Sure it would. Just have the IFRAME refresh itself: -- keepyoursessionalive.cfm -- <cfset iRefreshInSeconds = 600 /> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="<cfoutput>#iRefreshInSeconds#</cfoutput>" /> <cfif structKeyExists(session, "someSessionVarThatShouldExist")> <script type="text/javascript"> alert("Your session has expired."); </script> </cfif> </head> <body></body> </html> >3) too easy. Lol While I can probably hammer in a nail using my PSP, I'd prefer using a hammer. I know the hammer will work. The PSP will probably work, but I'm just as likely to break my PS as I am to hammer in the nail. - Dan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:225943 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
