You could do it with javascript and DHTML, something like this -
<cfset TimeoutSecs = 30>
<div id="Countdown">
You will timeout in #TimeoutSecs# seconds
</div>
<script language="javascript">
var Timer = #TimeoutSecs#
window.setTimeout( "tick();", 1000 );
function tick()
{
Timer = Timer - 1;
if( Timer > 0 )
{
document.all['Countdown'].innerHTML = "You will timeout in "
+ Timer + " seconds";
window.setTimeout( "tick();", 1000 );
}
else
{
alert( "You have timed out!" );
self.location="timeout.cfm";
}
}
</script>
It would need a bit of modification to work in Nutscrape, but I hope that
helps!

Subject: Session Solution.
I have been skirting the issue here for a while I am simply trying to notify
a user when their session will timeout. I would like it to count down.
Like a dialog box that says you will timeout in 5 minutes and counts down?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Neil
