Haven't tried this but it might work:

In you application.cfm write a JS function to the header using CFHTMLHead
that starts a JS timer. When the function reaches specified intervals popup
a window that notifies the user and gives them the option of closing the
window. If you call a CFM page in your popup it should "tickle" the session
alive so you would have to re-set the counter in the calling page.

Let me know if this works,
Duane

Subject: Push alert page to browser?


We have a need to alert a user if he's near the end of his 15 min. session
variable expiration.  Unfortunately, they don't want anything client-side
[grumble, grumble ...]

So - anybody know how to use CF, or maybe JSP or PHP to push an alert window
to a user when the session variables are near to expiring?

thx
