Question

I have a page that has an idletimer set to log you out after 20 minutes:

               (function($){

                    var clientTimeoutInMinutes = 20; // hard-coded as requirements ask for 20 minutes

                    $(document).bind("idle.idleTimer", function(){
                      form = document.FormOSDA;
                      form.TargetPage.value = "Logout";
                      form.action="myactionpage";
                      form.submit();
                    });
                    $.idleTimer(clientTimeoutInMinutes * 60 * 1000); // convert to  milli secs

                })(jQuery);

But in Chrome, and only in Chrome, this is being called after I do a window.print(), even if they immediately cancel the print dialog. This happens with the most recent Chrome on Windows XP and Mac, and doesn’t happen with IE 8 or Firefox.

How can I stop this happening?

Never mind, found it as a bug report in the jquery-idletimer plugin we’re using, fixed in the latest version.
