>> My problem lies with a user typing and typing and going over their >> timeout limit of 20 min. I ran into a similar problem with a website where people would start something get interrupted leave the page open come back finish and submit only to find the session had expired and the work seemd lost beasue they had to login again. Javascript keep alive was unreliable so I had to re-think the authentication plan and eventually changed it to store the login information in a cookie. That way once they logged in they they could take as long as they wanted because if the session expired the application would log them back from the cookie information and accept the post.
