I need to display this message to the user where the user can click ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. If the user doesn’t respond in 2 minutes, the window needs to closed. Opening a new page is one way. My question is, is it possible to do this with a confirm box? Can a confirm box be automatically closed after 2 minutes?
You cannot do that with the native
confirm()as it blocks JavaScript execution on that page until the user has “answered” but there are lots of HTML/JavaScript-based inplementations out there where you could easily add such behaviour.And they often look better, too. 🙂
Have a look at https://stackoverflow.com/a/972832/298479 for an example. To create the timeout, you’d simply
window.setTimeout(function() { $('#dialog').dialog('close'); }, 120000);when opening the dialog.
