timeout event

You can use the timeout event to influence application behavior after the user has remained inactive for a specified amount of time.

This applies when the user did not perform any clicking or typing action leading to a server call during that time. Actions leading to a server call include new queries and commits.

The default application behavior is that in such a case, the login page is displayed.

The following code replaces this by an alert message:

$("body").on("timeout", function(evt, options) {

alert("This is the timeout event");

});

NOTE: The timeout event is different from other top-level events in that it is bound to the entire application. Therefore it is attached directly to the body element of the HTML document, as the example shows.
