I think you just hit the nail. How can I intercept the process?

I used validate_session initially and it gave me an error...

so I added the (), no error. *puzzled*

I used a simple Javascript function for this:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function validate_session(){
return false
}
//-->
</script>
It works when the user is logged in (nothing is submitted)
But it fails when the user session expires
