Idle Page Alert

dmhamson Nov 12, 2007 10:21 PM

I am working on an application which uses Richfaces and Seam on Jboss and would like to trigger an alert to the user if they sit idle on a page for too long. All of the timers I have found so far run to the server and what I want is a client-side confirmation alert to warn the user that the session is about to expire.

If someone would just give this MS .NET refugee a point in the right direction...

Thanks.

I am proficient in using javascript, what I don't understand is the syntax for inserting javascript into the Richface/SEAM page. In particular, how do I create a docOnLoad() function and then supporting javascript functions along with it?

A link to documentation would be most useful.

Thanks.

just use something like
<body onload="startIdleTimer();">

Cheers,
