Hi All, I'm very new at JQuery and have been messing about with a timer that will trigger a logout script on a page. what i'm trying to do is have a timer that counts down from lets say 10mins to 0 when it gets to zero it should call a function called logUserOut(). this works fine with a number of the timer examples out there (eg timer plugin) but i'm yet to find one that allows you to reset the time from an external function. once a user does certain things on the system i would like to restart the same timer from 10 mins.
in the past I have used a tiny 1px x 1px iframe and refreshed the iframe whenever i needed to reset the timer. this worked fine but i thought there would be a more elegant way of doing it with JQuery. thanks in advance for your assistance. --etho
