asp session problem

[xenomage]

Hi all,

had this problem for a long long time.

Is it possible to obtain an event just before the session time out and then let user select whether to end the session or continue??

i know there is an On_End event but once it reach on end , all the session variables will be lost already right??

Please help. Any suggestion are appreciated.

How would this work?

The client doesn't know anything the server doesn't tell it, so you'd have to pass the timeout time to the client and let it watch for it.

The server can't do anything else about it - because there isn't really any such thing as a "session" per se. The ASP "session" is a fiction, HTTP doesn't HAVE a session concept.

When your ASP page finishes processing, the server is done with it. It fakes the "session" concept by storing state info it can associate with a browser window out in the world using a cookie.

ASP doesn't actually do "events" because there is no code that can hang around watching for them.
