Hey Lee, here's a script for you:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
        <title>Untitled</title>
        <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
        <!--
        function monitorUser(){
                setTimeout("throwAlert()", 1000)
                // ("function to call when timeout has been reached", time
in milliseconds)
                // 60,000 milliseconds in one minute
        }

        function throwAlert(){
                alert("Your session is about to expire!");
        }
        //-->
        </SCRIPT>
</head>

<body onload="monitorUser();">
this is my web page...
</body>
</html>

just change your timeout value to whatever you want it to be and then do the
same for your message and you're all good.

Subject: SOT: Timed Pop-Up Question...


Wondering if anyone has seen some javascript that would do this.. Or
knows what it would take.

Since session vars are set to timeout at specific intervals, I'm
wondering how hard it would be (not being a Javascript guru) to set a
timer upon execution of a template, that would pop-up at a specified
number of minutes or seconds, so that we could warn the user that their
session is about to timeout.

Sure would keep our clients who like to sit at their screen and futz
around with adding info over a 1 hours period from getting made cuz the
changes they forgot they made 10 minutes ago are now going to be lost!

Any ideas anyone?

        Lee
