One thought -
IFRAME is deprecated and can be a little messy on the page of some browsers. Consider using a javascript timer and an ajax call to maintain the user scope. Also- as an alternative there are method where you auto-login your user after they've timed out and methods to temporarily store the submitted information while your ask your user to login again.

I have done long forms in sections with a submit for every page. I have done timed javascripts that calls a pop-up after 25 minutes telling the user to save and continue. Yada Yada Yada. I am in the middle of putting together a very long form for a client and decided to try a different approach. I load a taf into an iframe with height and width attributes set to 1. The taf doesn't return anything, it's just a header with a meta-refresh every 25 minutes (1500 seconds). Now call me dumb, but this works perfectly, as far as I can tell. I've tested it on many forms, forums, in-house blogs, etc., and I cannot get it to break. Every refresh refreshes the variables and holds onto all the user info. A really simple solution to what I thought was a vexing problem. I just updated a bunch of stuff by adding the iframe at the bottom of a bunch of form pages. I cannot find any drawbacks to this... I hope I am not missing something. ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf
