How you handle session timeouts, is really a decision you need to make on the server-side of things. Coming up with a "generic" solution wouldn't work for everyone, but more importantly it's very easy to implement a custom solution. I already blogged about 2 straightforward approaches: http://blog.pengoworks.com/blogger/index.cfm?action=blog:605 And example code: http://www.pengoworks.com/workshop/jquery/session_expired_example.cfm All of this is pretty easy to integrate into your site's JS framework so it's handled consistently across the board. -Dan
