Hi ,
What I am planing to do is , suppose if I am on particular form , i have filled many details into it . And clicking on save button if session time out i don't want to loose my data , If session time is about to end I want to display a message to end user saying do you want to extend , and clicking on yes session time should extended again ,
and if session time out is unexpected then well in that case it is obvious that it wont get extended as it had been expired already , I just want to display an alert stating session has been expired and i don't want to refresh my webpage , so that end user can open up other tab and fill the data from previous tab . so that he is safe with his data by copying from other tab.
I have an asp.net site that I need to have a popup/layer/alert happen when the session reaches its timeout (lets say 10 minutes). The popup will say that your account session will expire due to inactivity and have a button for continue session or a button for logout.
I see different ways to do this online, but what's the best/proper way to handle this? Do I have to put an additional timeout if the popup is open too long?
