Time Out Msg

[emmim44]

Hi all.

Does any one know how to implement this :
A time-out warning message box (with a choice of continue or close) to remind the users before the session times out?

I am using MX8 on Linux box with oracle...And using CFlogin..I have session page...The session page times out after 15 mins idle time...

This requires some javascript used in conjunction with the cfml. You
create a standard bit of JS that will fire an event the will show the
desired dialog box at the same time (or shortly before -- to allow for
lag) the session time out.

If you want the continue to do something it will need to do some kind of
request to the server to refresh the session. Ajax, inline frames,
<img...> pipelines or an old fashioned page refresh can be utilized for
this.
