Geof:

This application is entirely dependent on javascript. I'm not under
the illusion that this will be the ultimate in accessibility, but I'm
trying to do what I can to keep it going in that direction.

That said, in the case of monitoring a session timeout, there really
is no option other than javascript, since there's no way for the
server to ping the client.

And for everyone else, I do apologize. I did not mean for this to turn
into a harsh reminder dealing with Adobe's stuff. ;o)

(And no offense to Andrew, I know he has a thankless job being in
here! Thanks for putting up with us, Andrew!)
