Timeout/User Idle Control

Method: setTimeout(seconds)

E.g. var ready = ViewONE.setTimeout(30);

This method sets and starts a usage timer. If the user does not use the applet for the number of seconds specified then the applet will automatically be disabled. It can be re- enabled by calling one of the timeout JavaScript methods (see below), opening a document using one of the JavaScript open methods, by revisiting the page containing the applet (Netscape) or reloading the page (Internet Explorer).

Security note: This method is disabled by default unless the “JavascriptExtensions” parameter is set to “true”.

Method: getTimeout()

E.g. var seconds = ViewONE.getTimeout();

This method returns the timeout value (integer seconds) set using either the setTimeout() method or the HTML tag “timeout”.

Method: stopTimeout()

E.g. ViewONE.stopTimeout();

This method will disable the timer set using either the setTimeout() method or the HTML tag “timeout” and if the applet had timed-out then it will wake-up (i.e. be re-enabled).

Security note: This method is disabled by default unless the “JavascriptExtensions” parameter is set to “true”.

Method: isTimedOut()

E.g. var timedout = ViewONE.isTimedOut();

This method returns a value of true if the applet has timed-out as a result of the user not using the applet for the time specified by the setTimeout() method or the HTML tag “timeout”. It otherwise returns false.
