Time limits that are controlled by client-side scripting.
This technique relates to:
The objective of this technique is to allow user to extend the default time limit by providing a mechanism to extend the time when scripts provide functionality that has default time limits. In order to allow the user to request a longer than default time limit, the script can provide a form (for example) allowing the user to enter a larger default time limit. Making this available as a preference setting allows users to indicate their requirements in advance. If warning the user a time limit is about to expire (see SCR16: Providing a script that warns the user a time limit is about to expire (Scripting) ), this form can be made available from the warning dialog.
A Web page contains current stock market statistics and is set to refresh periodically. When the user is warned prior to refreshing the first time, the user is provided with an option to extend the time period between refreshes.
In an online chess game, each player is given a time limit for completing each move. When the player is warned that time is almost up for this move, the user is provided with an option to increase the time.
