SC 2.2.1 - User warning for timeout script example

Hi,

I've had a critique of the example provided in the 'Providing a script on
page that warns the user a timeout is about to expire' [1] and I believe it
is a legitimate concern.

The problem is that the user will always be prompted with an alert box even
if they do not have an issue with the timeout. This is poor usability for
everyone.
Something to discuss at the next call.....

Thanks,
Sofia
