Ok, so I guess this is not exactly the right place for this question, but i couldnt find a more appropriate forum. Can anyone tell me how to either increase the time my browser waits till timing out or to disable time out all together?
 
If I understand what you are telling me I think this is not quit what I need.

Here's the problem. Users attempt to print multiple documents from a software hosted on our document controll server. Because they are printing soo many documents at once the browser times out. Does IE 5.0 have a setting for disabling this? or if you first answere still applies can you explain a bit further?

Thanks

Hi mate,

As far as I know the only fix for this is by altering the registry.

As you say that this is for users, then I wouldn't think this would be an option, unless it was for an intranet etc..

Hope this helps Wullie

If there is a timeout on the browser, than it is extremely large, more likely what is happening is the server serving out the webpage works over the defaul time it has set and return a timeout.
onpnt's example above would be for a serveer side application in ASP and would extend the default IIS setting of 90 seconds to inifinity (and beyond!)
His second example forces a page to refresh 5 seconds after loading.

If the server is running IIS the default setting can be changed in the IIS settings, but be warned this is for the entire site.
