Question

I have a dialog window in my JSP page and its implemented using jQuery.

If my server is timed-out and I click on a button to open the dialog window, my login-page is shown inside the dialog window.

I want to actually close the dialog window, and redirect to the login page.

How can I achieve this?

Assuming what you are asking is that when you click a link a jquery dialog window opens, or it will redirect you to the login page:

You could have the login link button like so:

 <a href="loginURL">Login</a>

then in the javascript:

  $("a").click(function() {

       if (code to determine if server is not timed-out)
            $("selectorForDialog").dialog({ options });
            return false;
       }
  }

if the server is not timed-out, it will open the dialog, else it will go to the url specified by href in the <a> link
