You might consider a "keep-alive" script. Basically you have a javascript
script that will "ping" a .cfm page every 15 minutes or so to keep the session
alive even if you have the same page open a long time. Here's one that I have
used successfully.
//calls a cfm page to refresh the user session every 15 minutes
function keepAlive() {
var imgAlive = new Image();
var d = new Date();
imgAlive.src = 'image.cfm?d=' + d;
}
setInterval('keepAlive()', 15*60*1000);
You can stick an image in the image.cfm page, but it's not necessary. You do
need to make sure it includes the cfapplication tag (if not in the
Application.cfm or cfc page).
