Janine: If you're trying to stick with your existing JS functionality and keep it all JS, then I don't know of any other option for prompting because any JS prompt will be modal. You could try writing your countdown to the status bar but it may not be noticed by the user or they may have their status bar hidden. Or you can open a new window and write the prompt to it. Not real tidy but it may be your only other option without going to something like Java.

Works ok as long as you want the person to respond- but it needs to logout of the applicaton if the user has walked away from their computer.... -----Original Message----- From: Chris Lofback [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 24, 2002 9:39 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: ot-Logout alert message Alright, this is my LAST correction...this is getting ridiculous, but it IS Friday... With JavaScript this is tricky, but you could use something like this: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> if (confirm('You have been inactibe for x minutes. Logout?')) { // logout code here }else { // continue code here, if any } </SCRIPT> This only gives them "OK" or "Cancel" as options. I don't think you can prompt and set your own button labels. Also, since the message box is modal, I don't think the browser can load a new page until the prompt is answered so you couldn't automatically clear the prompt and send them to a logout page if they didn't respond.

This sometimes takes people by surprise. I'd like to add something that either counts down "There has not been any activity. You will be logged off in 15 seconds...14...13...12..." or just a generic alert that does something like "because there has been no activity you are going to be logged off- if this isn't correct please click on continue session" Does anyone have this and would be willing to share it?
