We have a fusebox app in 2004.3 and 4rc6 that allows users to fill in
an application for a client.  The default session timeout is 10
minutes and we'd like to keep it this way if possible.

Our issue comes in the questionaire portion of the application.  There
are several questions on appl and it may take the user a while to
enter their responses.  Of course, if they do not submit the form, we
cannot save their session data.  So if they take longer than the
session timeout, their (and our) loss of answer data.

While we could have them submit the form after each question (there
are at least 5 per page), this is cumbersome and no guaratee that they
will do it.  Even if we placed one question per page, it is still
possible that they would take longer than 10 minutes to finalize their
input.

So we're looking for an approach on refreshing their session in the
background.  Some sort of keep-alive tied to a timer?  In javascript?
Or is there an easier way to do this without interupting their screen?

Google mail does a clever auto-save as you're composing an email, but
we haven't investigated yet how they do this.  We're thinking
something along these lines, but it would happen in the background as
to not interupt what they're working on.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,

Michael Check
