[Lab] Automatic OK dialog for a specific site - Browser Extension

[Justin Slootsky]

my knowledge of javascript is low to minimal, but ... 
could you periodically just call 

var remoteURL = '//includes/session.cfm'; 
$.get(remoteURL, function(data){ 
//do nothing 
}); 

Maybe use greasemonkey?

| Looking into writing a little Chrome Extension or Firefox add-on to
| automatically click OK on a specific dialog to keep a user logged in and
| retain her sanity.

| The dialog looks like this in Firefox. Not sure if that's a native dialog or
| something created by javascript, or even if the two would even look
| dissimilar?

| Code on the page:

| function callserver()
| {

| var extend_session = confirm("Your session is about to expire. Press OK to
| keep your session active.");
| if (extend_session == true)
| {
| var remoteURL = '//includes/session.cfm';
| $.get(remoteURL, function(data){
| //do nothing
| });
| }

| }

| Any thoughts? Perhaps just override the callserver() function somehow and
| return TRUE?
