###REQUEST FOR INPUT Please don't hesitate to submit an issue, request or ask a question. Your feedback is appreciated.

###HOW IT WORKS The best way to understand how the idleTimeout script works is to load the jquery-idleTimeout-for-testing.js on your site, and watch the console debug log. One way to do this is to use Mozilla Firefox https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ with the firebug addon: http://getfirebug.com/

Jquery-idleTimeout-for-testing.js includes iframe functionality and is heavily commented. You can learn quite a bit just by reading the code.

###PROBLEMS? Please read the GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTINS and IFRAMES INFORMATION & TROUBLESHOOTING pages.

###ABOUT The original script was philpalmieri's jquery-idleTimeout, but it did not have activity detection across multiple windows & tabs. A request to add this functionality was submitted, and the response from nestoru suggested the use of marcuswestin's store.js. https://github.com/philpalmieri/jquery-idleTimeout/issues/2#issuecomment-20855442

From there, josebalius created a fork of philpalmieri's that included the use of store.js. This version of the jquery-idleTimeout script was forked from the josebalius version and includes additional functionality.

Couldn't have done it without GitHub's Community. Thanks for all the help & support.
