Session ending message

#Ensemble

Hi Guys,

 

I'm using session to save some data eg. login details, data I need earlier, and of course if the screen left idol with no activity the session may time out and I would like to display a message waring the user that their session is about to expire (as some web application do) , so how can do that?

 

Thanks

The technique I have seen used is to run a JS timer which will run for, say, 120 seconds less than the session timeout. Restart the timer each time something happens that will cause the server-side session timeout to restart. When the JS timer expires, display the "2 minutes before timeout" message, perhaps with a countdown run by another 1-second JS timer.
