Bank Of America online checking does this. It gives a pop-up warning before timeout, and clicking OK resets the timer and prevents logout. It's nice because I am often taking a break to write a check or similar things while using their site. Now if only their timeout wasn't so annoyingly short. - Dan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
