TIMEDTRIGGER TEXTEDIT data loss - Alternative Solution

[Former Member]

Can anybody think of an alternative that I could use other than the timetrigger control...i need to send a popup reminder to the user to save their data. The ironic thing is that the timedtrigger erases the data that I am trying to get the user to save

Maybe in an island or iFrame include a visible count down timmer? (idea from Chris)

Increasing the time out will not work for our requirement.

Sounds like OSS Note 1496848 will solve my problem, however I would have to upgrade in order implement the note. Upgrade not an option for us at the current time.

Sharath,

Thanks for the reply, however I cannot use the Timedtrigger.

What you describe is exactly what I did however when the action in the Timedtrigger is called, it will erase the data in the TEXTEDIT fields.

Timedtrigger has an action acttached to it.

Lets say, you set a delay of 30 minutes( 1800 secs ) and assign an action name ot it. In the action, write the method to open a popup. On any non-activity for 30 minutes, this action will be called. Handle the popup action and save the data.

If its not about non-activity, instead to save the data when user clicks log-off by mistake, then there is a method in portal personalization to handle such actions.
