Need help for displaying session timeout

[blackpanther]

Hi All,
Im a newbie. I need to display session timeout message with 2 option whether to continue or logout. If contine is clicked the session should be refreshed to another 20 minutes and if logout the data last accessed in that page should not be displayed and all info should be wiped off. Also the session timeout message should be displayed 1 minute before session timeout with these option.

Also the session should be refreshed to 20 minutes on activation of that page like mouse click on page, scrolling, etc on that page.

Please guide me on this

Sounds like Application Inactivity concepts might get you started in the right direction.

this timeout message should support in mostly used web browsers like IE 6/7/8 and firefox 3/3.5 and netscape etc.Can it be developed in Java script or Java, based on browser compatibilty of either. And many thanks to Camikr and Eranga for ur great help.

Actually JavaScript is not related with Java technologies, but we can use it for browser dependent task. If you want to take different actions based on the browser normally we use JS, easy to find the browser type and take the appropriate action.
