Alert prior to session timeout?

Users complete a document in a rich text box, typically 2,000 to 8,000
characters. Sometimes they turn away to do something else, and lose all work
when the session times out.

Can you suggest a way to pop up an alert to save their work, a few minutes
prior to timeout? And perhaps a way to save their text just prior, if they
fail to do so?
 
Hi,

Yep, you can, you can set a timeout (timer) in javascript so you can show a
popup, you could later do a submit of the page, or just the textbox in this
case to the server, you use a dedicated page just for this, it would save
the text and expire the session right away. you could redirect the browser
to some other page if you want.


cheers,
