How to find that how long window is not accessed

[shinde_vishvana]

Hi,
I want to know is there any way with which I can find how long the window is not accessed. I want to redirect to log in screen on exceeding some access time.

You could use the following in the head section of your webpage:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="N; URL=other-web-address">

This would do a redirect to another page (defined by URL) within a certain number of seconds (defined by N). But this method is also used alot by spam sites so not sure if it's the best method.

Meta Refresh is a pretty good way to defeat your chances in search engines, but despite the perps who use it for mischievous purposes, it does have legitimate uses.

Cheers.

This is sort of the reverse of what you asked but will function the same basically. Rather than counting how long a window is open it counts down from a specific time interval.

Copy and paste this into the body of your page.

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

   //Set the time to wait in seconds
   var countDownInterval=5;
			
			
   var countDownTime=countDownInterval+1;
   function countDown(){
      countDownTime--;
      if (countDownTime <=0){
      countDownTime=countDownInterval;
      clearTimeout(counter)
				
      //Set the page to go to
      window.location = 'page2.htm'
      return
   }

   if (document.all) //if IE 4+
   document.all.countDownText.innerText = countDownTime+" ";
   else if (document.getElementById) //else if NS6+
   document.getElementById("countDownText").innerHTML=countDownTime+" "
   else if (document.layers){ 
			
      //CHANGE TEXT BELOW TO YOUR OWN
      document.c_reload.document.c_reload2.document.write('Redirect in <strong id="countDownText">'+countDownTime+' </strong> seconds')
      document.c_reload.document.c_reload2.document.close()
   }
   counter=setTimeout("countDown()", 1000);
   }
   function startit(){
      if (document.all||document.getElementById) 
			
      //CHANGE TEXT BELOW TO YOUR OWN
      document.write('Redirect in <strong id="countDownText">'+countDownTime+' </strong> seconds')
      countDown()
   }
   if (document.all||document.getElementById)
   startit()
   else
   window.onload=startit
</script>
