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.
