Dear All,

I would like to have on my website a timeout function.
I.m using php with seesion variables.

At the moment I use
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" time...

The option which have I have is - that people can enter a message, sometimes it takes them for ages so that they get timed out amd lossing there work .. if I understand it correctly session variables are expiring after 20 minutes. So set the <meta refresh time out is to 20 minutes..

Is there anything I can do with javascript ...

Thanks for every hint/idea/suggestions
Jack

Why not just up the session length?

session_cache_expire(60);

You can also put a JS countdown timer to let them know how much time they have left to fill out the form.
