>- see footer for list info -< Hi Peter, I used to handle things like this by just having a meta refresh set for 30 mins and 5 seconds that when this expired sent the user to a screen telling them they had automatically been logged out for security reasons and ensured any session variables were killed.
That might help and be simple enough. Not saying it is the best way but achieves the same goal.

Currently any remote JS calls that happens after an idle timeout results in JSMX alerting "Parsing Error: The value returned could not be evaluated." and that's obviously not good. We should be properly handling the error and redirecting to the login screen. I'm planning to implement something that will allow us to properly catch when logouts have occurred and handle things properly. However, I figure it's a common enough situation that others might already have thought up a solution, and instead of re-thinking the wheel I can save my brain cells for my plans of world domination. So yes, immediate reaction was simply for all JS requests to have "ajax=true" added to the URL, and then in the authentication checking code, if it finds that the URL contains that token, it should simply return blank or zero or whatever, otherwise it continues on to wherever it was going. Can anyone see any flaws with that, or have any better ideas on how to handle this? This is for a CF7 / FB5 application, and we're switching to jQuery (rather than JSMX).
