Scott, The poll component will not work because I don't want to invoke a PPR b/c it will refresh the session. What I need is a hook into the Trinidad JavaScript API like an "onPPR()" method that I can override to be notified when a PPR request is made. The purpose of the dialog is to tell the user if they are still in front of the screen that their session is about to expire and give them the opportunity to refresh the session rather than have them do something with the UI and then get redirected to a page that tells them that their session timed out.
