In your frameset file, you can have this:

<script type="text/javascript">
    window.setTimeout('checkIfContinue()', 10*60*1000);  //10 minutes

    function checkIfContinue()
    {
        if(confirm("Do you want to continue?"))
        {
            window.setTimeout('checkIfContinue()', 10*60*1000);  //start the timer again
        }
        else
        {
            window.location = 'timeout.html';
        }
    }
</script>

Of course, if you need a fancy dialog box, then you’ll need to code that instead of using javascript function confirm.
