 A java script based auto refresh would be a very usefull thing.
 the script is easy i was able to find an example of a java script auto
 refresh script and insert it into functions.js easily but 3 problem arrose
 when i did that.

 1) if a user clicked on a link if it took longer for the page to load than
 the remaining time in the counter it would refresh the users current page
 rather than load the one they clicked on. as a side effech the queries
 against the database would keep going.

 2) there was now way for the user to enable, disable or adjust the timeing
 of the auto refersh on the page.

 3) this applies the auto refresh to all pages even the ones where it is
 not usefull.

 if we can add two variables readable by java script this could allow the
 use of such an auto refresh.

 1) a simple refresh=(TRUE|FALSE)
 a variable to enable or disable the autorefresh. this could be turned of
 when a link is clicked, when a page should not use an auto refresh, of
 when the user has the option disabled

 2) refreshtime=111111
 a refresh time in seconds for the timer to count down


 this would requier some changes which could be roled in to the prewikka
 pages slowly over time also it would requier two new field added to the
 users preferences in the prewikka database

 in addition the javascript should also send a paramiter back to prewikka
 indicating not to update the user activity time so the time outs still
 work. this would also have a side effect of automaticaly redirecting the
 user to the logout page when their activity timer runs out rather than
 leaving the last viewed page vissible in the users browser.
