Wouldn't work, in this case the page hasn't be rehit in the time out period.
A method I might suggest is a Jscript that would maybe on each keystroke go to the server as a hit, this is something that is a problem and my best solution is to allow the creation of the newsletter in word or notepad or a text editor and copy and paste it in. There could be a Jscript that could warn the user, and then they could save the work he has done and maybe continue if nothing else had mattered. -----Original Message----- From: Tracy Bost [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 9 August 2001 1:00 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Session timeouts I've never had to do this, but it seems you could use functions to keep track of time and say a couple of minutes before the timeout time, re set the session variables. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2001 12:10 PM Subject: Session timeouts > What's the best way to deal with session timeouts when using > session vars to grant access to administrative areas of a site on a > server where you don't have control of the timeout settings? > > I'm thinking we probably need to switch to another method of > tracking the session...
