I was working on a requirement where for some particular
self service pages which are exposed to the public, I need to extend the time
out of that particular component alone as there are many data entry fields and
it is obvious that the user will be taking more time to fill out the form. While working for the
same, another requirement came in picture from the users that, the page needs to
be saved after particular time frame.
Obviously the first thing which came to mind is tweaking of
delivered javascript libraries, however it is going to be a customization and
will be having a global impact. So thought of having a custom javascript for
the particular page alone. There are many scripts available over the net to
tweak the time out or to do an auto save functionality.
However I came across a simpler article which provides the
script to do both the functionality, tweaking timeout as well as autosaving. I
thought it will be worth sharing it over here so the readers could also make benefit
of it.
The script is coded to make a save after specified time and
then do a time out again after the same time frame. You could tweak the script
to achieve the timeout immediately after the save or some other way based on
your requirement.
