Hi all,

I'm working on a site which is passworded and has session variables. Using
just the ASP session variables the default timeout is 20 mins (give or take)
but you only know when your time has expired when you try to load another
page.

I've therefore added a Javascript to run a function on timeout which loads a
"session has expired" type page when 20 minutes is up and then you click a
link to return to the login page.

What I need to know is if the timeout script is reloaded with the next page
does the timer restart or do I have to clear the timeout then restart it?

TIA

Angie
