Usages?

Hi,

One of a usage that I can think of is for screen lock, any others? Although, I only have the idea not implementation ;)

Is that possible to change the 'seconds' dynamically?

My idea is to lock the screen if no activity in 5 seconds, unless the user doing something.

Thanks and good extension anyway!

Re: Advantages?

Hi!, of course you can do it using pure javascript code. This widget is really basic, is just a simple yii-widget implementation, you can use it as reference to create another widget...

Maybe a good improvement could be reading action from a model ;)

Advantages?

What advantages does this have over a pure JavaScript solution?
