  • 0

I am doing some maintenance work to a fairly large existing site written in PHP & JavaScript. I am trying to set up a “time out” so that the user is automatically logged out after a specified period of time. I think I have the code that will “expire” the users session, but what I need is a way to run a specific javascript function whenever ANY of the pages in the existing system are loaded. I’d rather not manually add a call in each page as this would take forever and would require even more testing.

Is there a way to add a javascript function call to the window or some other part of the DOM to get called whenever a page is loaded?

Thanks for any help!

    There are many ways to achieve this. BUT, you will have to first include a reference to the javascript file.

    Then, you can, for instance, use jQuery to detect that the DOM is loaded and ready to call a function of yours.

    On a side note, can I ask you why you need to call a javascript function? There are probably other ways to do that, like a listener on your server that redirects to a logout page when a session expires.
