Menu
Hey everyone,
What I’m trying to achieve is a script that will redirect the user to the login page after 5 minutes of inactivity. I can achieve this using an alert box, but since the content on the page that they are viewing contains video (all under 3 minutes) I wanted to give them the option of staying logged in.
Here is the current code that I’m using
[CODE]<!– Begin
// Take user here after session timed out
timedouturl = “/nfinanse/index.php”;
function Minutes(data) {
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++)
if (data.substring(i, i + 1) == “:”)
break;
return (data.substring(0, i));
}
function Seconds(data) {
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++)
if (data.substring(i, i + 1) == “:”)
break;
return (data.substring(i + 1, data.length));
}
function Display(min, sec) {
var disp;
if (min <= 9) disp = ” 0″;
else disp = ” “;
disp += min + “:”;
if (sec <= 9) disp += “0” + sec;
else disp += sec;
return (disp);
}
function Down() {
sec–;
if (sec == -1) { sec = 59; min–; }
document.timerform.clock.value = Display(min, sec);
window.status = “Session will time out in: ” + Display(min, sec);
if (min == 0 && sec == 0) {
var r=confirm(“You have been inactive 5 min. Stay online?”)
if (r==true)
{
// I was using a reload command, but I noticed it’s not resetting the value in the form (which is how the entire thing is monitored)
// document.location.reload();
}
else
{
window.location.href = timedouturl;
}
}
else down = setTimeout(“Down()”, 1000);
}
function timeIt() {
min = 1 * Minutes(document.timerform.clock.value);
sec = 0 + Seconds(document.timerform.clock.value);
Down();
}
// End –>
</script>
</head>
<BODY OnLoad=”timeIt()”>
<center>
<form name=”timerform”>
<input type=”hidden” name=”clock” size=”7″ value=”0:15″><p>
</form>
</center>
It’s achieving everything that I want, but now the only thing I’m stuck on is how do I reset the timer correctly if they hit ok? A refresh right now will return some really strange values if you make the hidden field a text field. I could just leave it blank but that lets them stay logged on as long as they want without being redirected.
Hopefully I was clear in explaining my problem, any help would be greatly appreciated!
