Browser Timeout
« on: September 09, 2009, 06:40:25 PM »
Hi All,

Is it possible to detect if a browser waiting for the server to respond is about to timeout and re-direct the user to another page?

I'm looking at options where users run reports. If they are quick they will just display as in the examples. But if they are longer more complicated reports I would like to just re-direct the user to a reports log screen (just before it times out) where it will add a line into a reports table once it is generated so the user can simple click to view the pdf..

Depending on the amount of data and any ranges the user chooses, the report can run in 30 secs or 5 minutes so it is really hard for me to work out if it will complete before the browser times out.

The other option is to just re-direct them to this page every time.
