How to make idle-timeout script work across subdomains about jquery-idletimeout HOT 6 CLOSED

To allow localStorage to communicate across subdomains within the same parent domain, please try to 'relax' the 'same origin' policy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-origin_policy#Relaxing_the_same-origin_policy and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Same-origin_policy#Changing_origin

Hopefully you can find a solution to relax the same origin policy so that windows & tabs from your parent and subdomains can communicate via localStorage. There is no need to modify the jquery-idleTimeout script.

Please report back about the subdomains issues, and let me know how that works, so we can all learn from your experience.

As for modifying the CSS for the dialog box, create your own custom theme css files for JQuery UI or use one of the ready-made themes from the Gallery with the ThemeRoller online application: http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/

Hi Jil,

Thanks for quick reply. Let me explore that. One more question, how can we focus browser when dialog opens to let user know that he is timing out if he is working on another browser window. I mean browser icon in taskbar should start blinking or highlighting once dialog opens. That way user will be notified, I was working on word and realized I have open site 10 mins back with 5 mins as idle timeout setting. When I went back I was already timed out, any focus should have helped me renewing my session.

You could try adding the window.focus() method to the function that opens the warning dialog box. See below.

    openWarningDialog = function () {

      var dialogContent = "<div id='idletimer_warning_dialog'><p>" + currentConfig.dialogText + "</p><p style='display:inline'>" + currentConfig.dialogTimeRemaining + ": <div style='display:inline' id='countdownDisplay'></div></p></div>";
...snipped...
      document.title = currentConfig.dialogTitle;

       window.focus();  // add this line to the openWarningDialog function.

      if (currentConfig.sessionKeepAliveTimer) {
        stopKeepSessionAlive();
      }
    };

Let me know if that works as you wish.

I tried this and also tried window.moveTo(0,0) but both didn't work. :(

Hmmm, you might read this thread. Sounds like there may be issues getting something to work with all browsers. Report back if you get something to work. It would be a good feature to add to the plugin. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37122/make-browser-window-blink-in-task-bar

Any news on making the script work across subdomains, amitvit2002?
