Re: Trapping focus in an alert

I have to admit I simplified my description slightly. It is not actually coded yet, and I was performing a design assessment. That said, the phrase in the alert about your session ending included 4:59 or something like that. I don't now recall the exact amount of time, but I was satisfied that it was sufficient. I toyed with suggesting that the time announce periodically, but every second would be waaay to verbose, and coding it so it only updated on a custom cadence seemed like overkill, and there was sufficient time indicated in the design that I figured a user could see the time remaining and be able to choose to either continue or to log out without feeling rushed.
