Preventing Session TimeOut

Alejandro Beltran · 01-30-2002 02:13 PM

Hi all,

How do I keep a session from timing out if the user doesn't close the
browser?

I tried this:

<body onload="setTimeout('document.form1.submit()', 9000000)">

This is supposed to submit the form every 15 minutes and reset the timeout
for another 15 after loading again. It seems to work, but every time that
it
reloads the timeout keeps on getting shorter and shorter.
Do you know how to fix this or a better way to keep the session from timing
out?

Thanks for your help.

if you want to do it for everyone on the web app, its just an easy change
in the machine.config file...

<system.web>
<sessionState
mode="InProc"
cookieless="False"
timeout="5000" -put in any number you want here
/>
</system.web>
