See <a href="http://github.com/ferric84/jquery-idle-timeout" rel="nofollow">the repository</a> on GitHub. This version supports polling requests as I outlined above. If the session timeout is 20 minutes and the user is ACTIVE on your page for longer than that, the session shouldn't expire. Once they become idle for the configurable amount, the polling pauses and the warning bar kicks in. There are a few measures in place to ensure requests don't build up with setInterval. The response returned must match the <code>serverResponseEquals</code> parameter, and you can configure a maximum number of failed requests with the <code>failedRequests</code> param. If the request failed (either timed out or a 500, 404, etc code is returned) OR the server's response did not match <code>serverResponseEquals</code> "<code>failedRequests</code>" times, the code aborts. I still have some cleaning up to do and want to make it more flexible, but for the purposes of this article and demo, it is good to go. I just pushed a rewrite after a couple hours of hacking.

Technically, this script only implements the UI portion of the logic. I am working on a version that polls the server every XX seconds (minutes?) to keep the session alive while the user is considered "active". Once the idle state is detected the polling stops and the warning kicks in. Dan,

If you can take a loook at the example page: http://poslovi.infostud.com/test/untitled.html The multiselect selects are properly replaced but nothing happens when I click on them (in FF3 and Chrome. IE8 opens the box but its ~1000 pixels wide). The setup is at the bottom of the untitled.js with jQuery instead of $ because of legacy prototype code but that didnt make any problems with other jQuery plugins we use. Any ideas as to what is going wrong with this would be appriciated. Thanks This looks like what we need but I can’t get it to work on our page.

I have to admit the single select project you referenced does look like a pretty good solution. http://wiki.jqueryui.com/Selectmenu Just a follow up.

I'd just like to add my vote in along with Bob and Jo for a single select option. In my case I am limited to a column of select boxes in a sidebar and not all of them require multi-select capability. I also want them all to have the same look and UI. And it would be nice to manage all the select boxes with one plugin. You already have the logic to check/uncheck all the boxes. I would think all you need to do is add some exclusive logic to uncheck all options except for the most recent once checked. Again...Great Plugin! Thanks Hi Eric

Couple suggestions. 1) Use offset() instead of position() to determine the placement of the drop down. 2) Consider using the filament group's "fg-button fg-button-icon-right" classes for padding and size consistency 3) There is a border issue when the button is inside of a div of class ui-widget-content Hi Eric,

Cool widget!

I have a listbox which are disabled, but the multiselect drop down list seems not to honor this property.

Control in markup:

Anything i need to do in order to make it disabled?
