Prevent session timeout using javascript

Question

I have write some javascript code in my application to prevent sessions timeouts for a specific type of user. The timeout is controlled by server. How shuld I do this?

We need more information about the server, I think. Are you writing server code as ASP? JSP? PHP? etc. — Chris Forrence, May 17 '13 at 18:42

Make a call to the server that hits some page that updates the session.

function ping() {
     var img = new Image();
     img.src = "somePage.php?ts=" + (new Date()).getTime();
     window.setTimeout(ping,60*1000);
}

You could make an an Ajax call instead of an image request.

You can ask to user(by confirm) here if he want to update or not (be idle)... Because this will never do Session time out.. – Sachin May 17 '13 at 18:28
