Redirect on timeout

AnthonyJ20 · Oct 10, 2005

I'm using the script below that's been working pretty well. It notifies a user that their session is about to timeout about 5 minutes before it does. It they want to continue they click Okay and the page is refreshed. If they click cancel the session will continue to time out. What I want to do is have it so that if they click cancel they will be redirected to whatever page I choose. How would I do this?

<SCRIPT language="javascript">
function WarnUserTimeout()
{
if (window.confirm('Your session will expire in 5 minutes. Do you want To continue working?'))
{
window.history.go(0)
}
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY OnLoad="window.setTimeout('WarnUserTimeout()',(<%=session.timeout%>-5)*60*1000)">

Thanks for the response brianpercival. I'm still trying to get the hang of Java. How would I include the else statement you mentioned?

function WarnUserTimeout()
{
if (window.confirm('Your session will expire in 5 minutes. Do you want To continue working?'))
{
window.history.go(0)
}
else {
window.location='YOURURL'
}

}

hope this is what you wanted. BTW, just to let you know that this is not java, this is javascript, totally different from java thought they kind of look alike sometimes.

regards,
Brian
