Hi All,

In my project I am using iframe popup box to load url that I need to 
locate.  In that users can navigate all pages with in iframe only. Here 
User may not reload the parent window. In this case, Session automatically 
timedout. Please help me to reset session timeout ,even users working in 
iframe.

What session is "timing out?" Unless you''re written code, or
added a
library, Rails sessions don''t time out. So I''m going on the
assumption
here that you are showing someone else''s (something other than Rails) 
application within your iframe. Meaning that you don''t have direct 
control over the sessions on the "remote" application beyond what a 
regular user would have.

If this is the case I''m afraid that you might be at their mercy. The 
only option I can think of would be to periodically send requests 
directly to the remote application to force it to keep the logged in 
user''s session alive.

However, you can''t really just refresh the page they are currently 
viewing if they are trying to fill in a form. That would be extremely 
annoying to the user.

It would be nice if you could send requests from JavaScript, but it 
sounds like you likely have no way to setup cross domain XMLHttpRequests 
to the remote application. But, you might be able to use XMLHttpRequest 
to your own Rails application instructing it to send a direct request to 
the remote application periodically using Ruby''s open-uri.
