Is there any way to display login screen on timeout automatically

Hi,

Is there any way to display login screen on timeout automatically on client side, even when user doesn't click on some page control. Basically what I need is to show login form in client browser as soon as timeout occurs.

thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex, I do that now using javascript and a timer. When it expires, it forces the location to the login page. Also shows the countdown in a span on all my pages when logged in.

Do a search for "countdown javascript".

Hi, I´ve been searching one but I cant find one that redirects to another page.
May you please post yours?

Hi Alberto,

Since you first posted this I thought it would be a great idea to let the user know when the system will automatically log him out if he does not keep on working.

Below is the script that I found and then modified to work for me.
I use this one once the user has logged in and another one if he is not logged in.

I hope this helps you.
