Is it possible to detect "idle" time in JavaScript?
My primary use case probably would be to pre-fetch or preload content.
I define idle time as a period of user inactivity or without any CPU usage
Here is a simple script using jQuery that handles mousemove and keypress events.
If the time expires, the page reloads.
<script type="text/javascript">
var idleTime = 0;
$(document).ready(function () {
// Increment the idle time counter every minute.
var idleInterval = setInterval(timerIncrement, 60000); // 1 minute
// Zero the idle timer on mouse movement.
$(this).mousemove(function (e) {
idleTime = 0;
});
$(this).keypress(function (e) {
idleTime = 0;
});
});
function timerIncrement() {
idleTime = idleTime + 1;
if (idleTime > 19) { // 20 minutes
window.location.reload();
}
}
</script>
With vanilla JavaScript:
var inactivityTime = function () {
var time;
window.onload = resetTimer;
// DOM Events
document.onmousemove = resetTimer;
document.onkeydown = resetTimer;
function logout() {
alert("You are now logged out.")
//location.href = 'logout.html'
}
function resetTimer() {
clearTimeout(time);
time = setTimeout(logout, 3000)
// 1000 milliseconds = 1 second
}
};
And initialise the function where you need it (for example: onPageLoad).
window.onload = function() {
inactivityTime();
}
You can add more DOM events if you need to. Most used are:
document.onload = resetTimer;
document.onmousemove = resetTimer;
document.onmousedown = resetTimer; // touchscreen presses
document.ontouchstart = resetTimer;
document.onclick = resetTimer; // touchpad clicks
document.onkeydown = resetTimer; // onkeypress is deprectaed
document.addEventListener('scroll', resetTimer, true); // improved; see comments
Or register desired events using an array
window.addEventListener('load', resetTimer, true);
var events = ['mousedown', 'mousemove', 'keypress', 'scroll', 'touchstart'];
events.forEach(function(name) {
document.addEventListener(name, resetTimer, true);
});
DOM Events list: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/dom_obj_event.asp
Remember to use window, or document according your needs. Here you can see the differences between them: What is the difference between window, screen, and document in JavaScript?
Code Updated with #frank-conijn and #daxchen improve: window.onscroll will not fire if scrolling is inside a scrollable element, because scroll events don't bubble. In window.addEventListener('scroll', resetTimer, true), the third argument tells the listener to catch the event during the capture phase instead of the bubble phase.
Improving on Equiman's (original) answer:
function idleLogout() {
var t;
window.onload = resetTimer;
window.onmousemove = resetTimer;
window.onmousedown = resetTimer; // catches touchscreen presses as well
window.ontouchstart = resetTimer; // catches touchscreen swipes as well
window.ontouchmove = resetTimer; // required by some devices
window.onclick = resetTimer; // catches touchpad clicks as well
window.onkeydown = resetTimer;
window.addEventListener('scroll', resetTimer, true); // improved; see comments
function yourFunction() {
// your function for too long inactivity goes here
// e.g. window.location.href = 'logout.php';
}
function resetTimer() {
clearTimeout(t);
t = setTimeout(yourFunction, 10000); // time is in milliseconds
}
}
idleLogout();
Apart from the improvements regarding activity detection, and the change from document to window, this script actually calls the function, rather than letting it sit idle by.
It doesn't catch zero CPU usage directly, but that is impossible, because executing a function causes CPU usage. And user inactivity eventually leads to zero CPU usage, so indirectly it does catch zero CPU usage.
I have created a small library that does this:
https://github.com/shawnmclean/Idle.js
Description:
Tiny JavaScript library to report activity of user in the browser
(away, idle, not looking at webpage, in a different tab, etc). that is independent of any
other JavaScript libraries such as jQuery.
Visual Studio users can get it from NuGet by:
Install-Package Idle.js
Here is a rough jQuery implementation of tvanfosson's idea:
$(document).ready(function(){
idleTime = 0;
//Increment the idle time counter every second.
var idleInterval = setInterval(timerIncrement, 1000);
function timerIncrement()
{
idleTime++;
if (idleTime > 2)
{
doPreload();
}
}
//Zero the idle timer on mouse movement.
$(this).mousemove(function(e){
idleTime = 0;
});
function doPreload()
{
//Preload images, etc.
}
})
Similar to Peter J's solution (with a jQuery custom event)...
// Use the jquery-idle-detect.js script below
$(window).on('idle:start', function() {
// Start your prefetch, etc. here...
});
$(window).on('idle:stop', function() {
// Stop your prefetch, etc. here...
});
File jquery-idle-detect.js
(function($, $w) {
// Expose configuration option
// Idle is triggered when no events for 2 seconds
$.idleTimeout = 2000;
// Currently in idle state
var idle = false;
// Handle to idle timer for detection
var idleTimer = null;
// Start the idle timer and bind events on load (not DOM-ready)
$w.on('load', function() {
startIdleTimer();
$w.on('focus resize mousemove keyup', startIdleTimer)
.on('blur', idleStart) // Force idle when in a different tab/window
;
]);
function startIdleTimer() {
clearTimeout(idleTimer); // Clear prior timer
if (idle) $w.trigger('idle:stop'); // If idle, send stop event
idle = false; // Not idle
var timeout = ~~$.idleTimeout; // Option to integer
if (timeout <= 100)
timeout = 100; // Minimum 100 ms
if (timeout > 300000)
timeout = 300000; // Maximum 5 minutes
idleTimer = setTimeout(idleStart, timeout); // New timer
}
function idleStart() {
if (!idle)
$w.trigger('idle:start');
idle = true;
}
}(window.jQuery, window.jQuery(window)))
You can do it more elegantly with Underscore.js and jQuery:
$('body').on("click mousemove keyup", _.debounce(function(){
// do preload here
}, 1200000)) // 20 minutes debounce
My answer was inspired by vijay's answer, but is a shorter, more general solution that I thought I'd share for anyone it might help.
(function () {
var minutes = true; // change to false if you'd rather use seconds
var interval = minutes ? 60000 : 1000;
var IDLE_TIMEOUT = 3; // 3 minutes in this example
var idleCounter = 0;
document.onmousemove = document.onkeypress = function () {
idleCounter = 0;
};
window.setInterval(function () {
if (++idleCounter >= IDLE_TIMEOUT) {
window.location.reload(); // or whatever you want to do
}
}, interval);
}());
As it currently stands, this code will execute immediately and reload your current page after 3 minutes of no mouse movement or key presses.
This utilizes plain vanilla JavaScript and an immediately-invoked function expression to handle idle timeouts in a clean and self-contained manner.
All the previous answers have an always-active mousemove handler. If the handler is jQuery, the additional processing jQuery performs can add up. Especially if the user is using a gaming mouse, as many as 500 events per second can occur.
This solution avoids handling every mousemove event. This result in a small timing error, but which you can adjust to your need.
function setIdleTimeout(millis, onIdle, onUnidle) {
var timeout = 0;
startTimer();
function startTimer() {
timeout = setTimeout(onExpires, millis);
document.addEventListener("mousemove", onActivity);
document.addEventListener("keydown", onActivity);
document.addEventListener("touchstart", onActivity);
}
function onExpires() {
timeout = 0;
onIdle();
}
function onActivity() {
if (timeout) clearTimeout(timeout);
else onUnidle();
//since the mouse is moving, we turn off our event hooks for 1 second
document.removeEventListener("mousemove", onActivity);
document.removeEventListener("keydown", onActivity);
document.removeEventListener("touchstart", onActivity);
setTimeout(startTimer, 1000);
}
}
http://jsfiddle.net/9exz43v2/
I had the same issue and I found a quite good solution.
I used jquery.idle and I only needed to do:
$(document).idle({
onIdle: function(){
alert('You did nothing for 5 seconds');
},
idle: 5000
})
See JsFiddle demo.
(Just for information: see this for back-end event tracking Leads browserload)
If you are targeting a supported browser (Chrome or Firefox as of December 2018) you can experiment with the requestIdleCallback and include the requestIdleCallback shim for unsupported browsers.
You could probably hack something together by detecting mouse movement on the body of the form and updating a global variable with the last movement time. You'd then need to have an interval timer running that periodically checks the last movement time and does something if it has been sufficiently long since the last mouse movement was detected.
I wrote a small ES6 class to detect activity and otherwise fire events on idle timeout. It covers keyboard, mouse and touch, can be activated and deactivated and has a very lean API:
const timer = new IdleTimer(() => alert('idle for 1 minute'), 1000 * 60 * 1);
timer.activate();
It does not depend on jQuery, though you might need to run it through Babel to support older browsers.

(Partially inspired by the good core logic of Equiman's answer.)
sessionExpiration.js
sessionExpiration.js is lightweight yet effective and customizable. Once implemented, use in just one row:
sessionExpiration(idleMinutes, warningMinutes, logoutUrl);
Affects all tabs of the browser, not just one.
Written in pure JavaScript, with no dependencies. Fully client side.
(If so wanted.) Has warning banner and countdown clock, that is cancelled by user interaction.
Simply include the sessionExpiration.js, and call the function, with arguments [1] number of idle minutes (across all tabs) until user is logged out, [2] number of idle minutes until warning and countdown is displayed, and [3] logout url.
Put the CSS in your stylesheet. Customize it if you like. (Or skip and delete banner if you don't want it.)
If you do want the warning banner however, then you must put an empty div with ID sessExpirDiv on your page (a suggestion is putting it in the footer).
Now the user will be logged out automatically if all tabs have been inactive for the given duration.
Optional: You may provide a fourth argument (URL serverRefresh) to the function, so that a server side session timer is also refreshed when you interact with the page.
This is an example of what it looks like in action, if you don't change the CSS.
Try this code. It works perfectly.
var IDLE_TIMEOUT = 10; //seconds
var _idleSecondsCounter = 0;
document.onclick = function () {
_idleSecondsCounter = 0;
};
document.onmousemove = function () {
_idleSecondsCounter = 0;
};
document.onkeypress = function () {
_idleSecondsCounter = 0;
};
window.setInterval(CheckIdleTime, 1000);
function CheckIdleTime() {
_idleSecondsCounter++;
var oPanel = document.getElementById("SecondsUntilExpire");
if (oPanel)
oPanel.innerHTML = (IDLE_TIMEOUT - _idleSecondsCounter) + "";
if (_idleSecondsCounter >= IDLE_TIMEOUT) {
alert("Time expired!");
document.location.href = "SessionExpired.aspx";
}
}
<script type="text/javascript">
var idleTime = 0;
$(document).ready(function () {
//Increment the idle time counter every minute.
idleInterval = setInterval(timerIncrement, 60000); // 1 minute
//Zero the idle timer on mouse movement.
$('body').mousemove(function (e) {
//alert("mouse moved" + idleTime);
idleTime = 0;
});
$('body').keypress(function (e) {
//alert("keypressed" + idleTime);
idleTime = 0;
});
$('body').click(function() {
//alert("mouse moved" + idleTime);
idleTime = 0;
});
});
function timerIncrement() {
idleTime = idleTime + 1;
if (idleTime > 10) { // 10 minutes
window.location.assign("http://www.google.com");
}
}
</script>
I think this jQuery code is perfect one, though copied and modified from above answers!!
Do not forgot to include the jQuery library in your file!
Pure JavaScript with a properly set reset time and bindings via addEventListener:
(function() {
var t,
timeout = 5000;
function resetTimer() {
console.log("reset: " + new Date().toLocaleString());
if (t) {
window.clearTimeout(t);
}
t = window.setTimeout(logout, timeout);
}
function logout() {
console.log("done: " + new Date().toLocaleString());
}
resetTimer();
//And bind the events to call `resetTimer()`
["click", "mousemove", "keypress"].forEach(function(name) {
console.log(name);
document.addEventListener(name, resetTimer);
});
}());
The problem with all these solutions, although correct, is they are impractical, when taking into account the session timeout valuable set, using PHP, .NET or in the Application.cfc file for ColdFusion developers.
The time set by the above solution needs to sync with the server-side session timeout. If the two do not sync, you can run into problems that will just frustrate and confuse your users.
For example, the server side session timeout might be set to 60 minutes, but the user may believe that he/she is safe, because the JavaScript idle time capture has increased the total amount of time a user can spend on a single page. The user may have spent time filling in a long form, and then goes to submit it. The session timeout might kick in before the form submission is processed.
I tend to just give my users 180 minutes, and then use JavaScript to automatically log the user out. Essentially, using some of the code above, to create a simple timer, but without the capturing mouse event part.
In this way my client side and server-side time syncs perfectly. There is no confusion, if you show the time to the user in your UI, as it reduces. Each time a new page is accessed in the CMS, the server side session and JavaScript timer are reset. Simple and elegant. If a user stays on a single page for more than 180 minutes, I figure there is something wrong with the page, in the first place.
You can use the below mentioned solution
var idleTime;
$(document).ready(function () {
reloadPage();
$('html').bind('mousemove click mouseup mousedown keydown keypress keyup submit change mouseenter scroll resize dblclick', function () {
clearTimeout(idleTime);
reloadPage();
});
});
function reloadPage() {
clearTimeout(idleTime);
idleTime = setTimeout(function () {
location.reload();
}, 3000);
}
I wrote a simple jQuery plugin that will do what you are looking for.
https://github.com/afklondon/jquery.inactivity
$(document).inactivity( {
interval: 1000, // the timeout until the inactivity event fire [default: 3000]
mouse: true, // listen for mouse inactivity [default: true]
keyboard: false, // listen for keyboard inactivity [default: true]
touch: false, // listen for touch inactivity [default: true]
customEvents: "customEventName", // listen for custom events [default: ""]
triggerAll: true, // if set to false only the first "activity" event will be fired [default: false]
});
The script will listen for mouse, keyboard, touch and other custom events inactivity (idle) and fire global "activity" and "inactivity" events.
I have tested this code working file:
var timeout = null;
var timee = '4000'; // default time for session time out.
$(document).bind('click keyup mousemove', function(event) {
if (timeout !== null) {
clearTimeout(timeout);
}
timeout = setTimeout(function() {
timeout = null;
console.log('Document Idle since '+timee+' ms');
alert("idle window");
}, timee);
});
Is it possible to have a function run every 10 seconds, and have that check a "counter" variable? If that's possible, you can have an on mouseover for the page, can you not?
If so, use the mouseover event to reset the "counter" variable. If your function is called, and the counter is above the range that you pre-determine, then do your action.
Here is the best solution I have found:
Fire Event When User is Idle
Here is the JavaScript:
idleTimer = null;
idleState = false;
idleWait = 2000;
(function ($) {
$(document).ready(function () {
$('*').bind('mousemove keydown scroll', function () {
clearTimeout(idleTimer);
if (idleState == true) {
// Reactivated event
$("body").append("<p>Welcome Back.</p>");
}
idleState = false;
idleTimer = setTimeout(function () {
// Idle Event
$("body").append("<p>You've been idle for " + idleWait/1000 + " seconds.</p>");
idleState = true; }, idleWait);
});
$("body").trigger("mousemove");
});
}) (jQuery)
I use this approach, since you don't need to constantly reset the time when an event fires. Instead, we just record the time, and this generates the idle start point.
function idle(WAIT_FOR_MINS, cb_isIdle) {
var self = this,
idle,
ms = (WAIT_FOR_MINS || 1) * 60000,
lastDigest = new Date(),
watch;
//document.onmousemove = digest;
document.onkeypress = digest;
document.onclick = digest;
function digest() {
lastDigest = new Date();
}
// 1000 milisec = 1 sec
watch = setInterval(function() {
if (new Date() - lastDigest > ms && cb_isIdel) {
clearInterval(watch);
cb_isIdle();
}
}, 1000*60);
},
Based on the inputs provided by equiman:
class _Scheduler {
timeoutIDs;
constructor() {
this.timeoutIDs = new Map();
}
addCallback = (callback, timeLapseMS, autoRemove) => {
if (!this.timeoutIDs.has(timeLapseMS + callback)) {
let timeoutID = setTimeout(callback, timeLapseMS);
this.timeoutIDs.set(timeLapseMS + callback, timeoutID);
}
if (autoRemove !== false) {
setTimeout(
this.removeIdleTimeCallback, // Remove
10000 + timeLapseMS, // 10 secs after
callback, // the callback
timeLapseMS, // is invoked.
);
}
};
removeCallback = (callback, timeLapseMS) => {
let timeoutID = this.timeoutIDs.get(timeLapseMS + callback);
if (timeoutID) {
clearTimeout(timeoutID);
this.timeoutIDs.delete(timeLapseMS + callback);
}
};
}
class _IdleTimeScheduler extends _Scheduler {
events = [
'load',
'mousedown',
'mousemove',
'keydown',
'keyup',
'input',
'scroll',
'touchstart',
'touchend',
'touchcancel',
'touchmove',
];
callbacks;
constructor() {
super();
this.events.forEach(name => {
document.addEventListener(name, this.resetTimer, true);
});
this.callbacks = new Map();
}
addIdleTimeCallback = (callback, timeLapseMS) => {
this.addCallback(callback, timeLapseMS, false);
let callbacksArr = this.callbacks.get(timeLapseMS);
if (!callbacksArr) {
this.callbacks.set(timeLapseMS, [callback]);
} else {
if (!callbacksArr.includes(callback)) {
callbacksArr.push(callback);
}
}
};
removeIdleTimeCallback = (callback, timeLapseMS) => {
this.removeCallback(callback, timeLapseMS);
let callbacksArr = this.callbacks.get(timeLapseMS);
if (callbacksArr) {
let index = callbacksArr.indexOf(callback);
if (index !== -1) {
callbacksArr.splice(index, 1);
}
}
};
resetTimer = () => {
for (let [timeLapseMS, callbacksArr] of this.callbacks) {
callbacksArr.forEach(callback => {
// Clear the previous IDs
let timeoutID = this.timeoutIDs.get(timeLapseMS + callback);
clearTimeout(timeoutID);
// Create new timeout IDs.
timeoutID = setTimeout(callback, timeLapseMS);
this.timeoutIDs.set(timeLapseMS + callback, timeoutID);
});
}
};
}
export const Scheduler = new _Scheduler();
export const IdleTimeScheduler = new _IdleTimeScheduler();
As simple as it can get, detect when the mouse moves only:
var idle = false;
document.querySelector('body').addEventListener('mousemove', function(e) {
if(idle!=false)
idle = false;
});
var idleI = setInterval(function()
{
if(idle == 'inactive')
{
return;
}
if(idle == true)
{
idleFunction();
idle = 'inactive';
return;
}
idle = true;
}, 30000); // half the expected time. Idle will trigger after 60 s in this case.
function idleFuntion()
{
console.log('user is idle');
}
Here is an AngularJS service for accomplishing in Angular.
/* Tracks now long a user has been idle. secondsIdle can be polled
at any time to know how long user has been idle. */
fuelServices.factory('idleChecker',['$interval', function($interval){
var self = {
secondsIdle: 0,
init: function(){
$(document).mousemove(function (e) {
self.secondsIdle = 0;
});
$(document).keypress(function (e) {
self.secondsIdle = 0;
});
$interval(function(){
self.secondsIdle += 1;
}, 1000)
}
}
return self;
}]);
Keep in mind this idle checker will run for all routes, so it should be initialized in .run() on load of the angular app. Then you can use idleChecker.secondsIdle inside each route.
myApp.run(['idleChecker',function(idleChecker){
idleChecker.init();
}]);
Surely you want to know about window.requestIdleCallback(), which queues a function to be called during a browser's idle periods.
You can see an elegant usage of this API in the Quicklink repo.
const requestIdleCallback = window.requestIdleCallback ||
function (cb) {
const start = Date.now();
return setTimeout(function () {
cb({
didTimeout: false,
timeRemaining: function () {
return Math.max(0, 50 - (Date.now() - start));
},
});
}, 1);
};
The meaning of the code above is: if the browser supports requestIdleCallback (check the compatibility), uses it. If is not supported, uses a setTimeout(()=> {}, 1) as fallback, which should queue the function to be called at the end of the event loop.
Then you can use it like this:
requestIdleCallback(() => {...}, {
timeout: 2000
});
The second parameter is optional, you might want to set a timeout if you want to make sure the function is executed.
You could probably detect inactivity on your web page using the mousemove tricks listed, but that won't tell you that the user isn't on another page in another window or tab, or that the user is in Word or Photoshop, or WoW and just isn't looking at your page at this time.
Generally, I'd just do the prefetch and rely on the client's multi-tasking. If you really need this functionality, you do something with an ActiveX control in Windows, but it's ugly at best.
Debounce is actually a great idea! Here is a version for jQuery-free projects:
const derivedLogout = createDerivedLogout(30);
derivedLogout(); // It could happen that the user is too idle)
window.addEventListener('click', derivedLogout, false);
window.addEventListener('mousemove', derivedLogout, false);
window.addEventListener('keyup', derivedLogout, false);
function createDerivedLogout (sessionTimeoutInMinutes) {
return _.debounce( () => {
window.location = this.logoutUrl;
}, sessionTimeoutInMinutes * 60 * 1000 )
}
I was wondering if there is a function to be run after an element (e.g. div class="myiv") is hovered and check every X milliseconds if it's still hovered, and if it is, run another function.
EDIT: This did the trick for me:
http://jsfiddle.net/z8yaB/
For most purposes in simple interfaces, you may use jquery's hover function and simply store in a boolean somewhere if the mouse is hover. And then you may use a simple setInterval loop to check every ms this state. You yet could see in the first comment this answer in the linked duplicate (edit : and now in the other answers here).
But there are cases, especially when you have objects moving "between" the mouse and your object when hover generate false alarms.
For those cases, I made this function that checks if an event is really hover an element when jquery calls my handler :
var bubbling = {};
bubbling.eventIsOver = function(event, o) {
if ((!o) || o==null) return false;
var pos = o.offset();
var ex = event.pageX;
var ey = event.pageY;
if (
ex>=pos.left
&& ex<=pos.left+o.width()
&& ey>=pos.top
&& ey<=pos.top+o.height()
) {
return true;
}
return false;
};
I use this function to check that the mouse really leaved when I received the mouseout event :
$('body').delegate(' myselector ', 'mouseenter', function(event) {
bubbling.bubbleTarget = $(this);
// store somewhere that the mouse is in the object
}).live('mouseout', function(event) {
if (bubbling.eventIsOver(event, bubbling.bubbleTarget)) return;
// store somewhere that the mouse leaved the object
});
You can use variablename = setInterval(...) to initiate a function repeatedly on mouseover, and clearInterval(variablename) to stop it on mouseout.
http://jsfiddle.net/XE8sK/
var marker;
$('#test').on('mouseover', function() {
marker = setInterval(function() {
$('#siren').show().fadeOut('slow');
}, 500);
}).on('mouseout', function() {
clearInterval(marker);
});
jQuery has the hover() method which gives you this functionality out of the box:
$('.myiv').hover(
function () {
// the element is hovered over... do stuff
},
function () {
// the element is no longer hovered... do stuff
}
);
To check every x milliseconds if the element is still hovered and respond adjust to the following:
var x = 10; // number of milliseconds
var intervalId;
$('.myiv').hover(
function () {
// the element is hovered over... do stuff
intervalId = window.setInterval(someFunction, x);
},
function () {
// the element is no longer hovered... do stuff
window.clearInterval(intervalId);
}
);
DEMO - http://jsfiddle.net/z8yaB/
var interval = 0;
$('.myiv').hover(
function () {
interval = setInterval(function(){
console.log('still hovering');
},1000);
},
function () {
clearInterval(interval);
}
);
I have this button which is not working correctly for hold button for a period (but it works like click only).
Where i was trying to do if the button is hold for greater/equal then 2 seconds then callfunction1, if the button was pressed less then 2 seconds then callfuntion2.
var clickDisabled = false;
function clickLocker() {
/* #Button: 2 seconds */
clickDisabled = true;
setTimeout(function(){clickDisabled = false;}, 2000);
}
function callfunction1() { // you have hold he button for greater then or equal 2 second }
function callfunction2() { // you have hold the button less then 2 second }
$('.button').live("click",function()
{
if (clickDisabled) {
alert("locked for 2 second");
return;
}
clickLocker();
});
I think this solution should work. I have not tested it but it should give you the right idea.
var startTime;
function callfunction1() { // you have hold he button for greater then or equal 2 second }
function callfunction2() { // you have hold the button less then 2 second }
function buttonDownEvent() {
var Time = new Date();
startTime = Time.getTime();
}
function buttonUpEvent() {
if(new Date().getTime() - startTime < 2000)
callfunction2()
else
callfunction1()
}
$('.button').live("mousedown",function()
{
buttonDownEvent();
});
$('.button').live("mouseup",function()
{
buttonUpEvent();
});
Listen for both events, mousedown and mouseup, measuring the time between both:
var timeDown;
var timeUp;
$('.button').live("mousedown",function(){
timeDown = event.timeStamp;
});
$('.button').live("mouseup",function(){
timeUp = event.timeStamp;
time = timeUp-timeDown;
if (time>2000){
function1();
}else{
function2();
}
});
please note that event.timeStamp wont work well in firefox. For firefox you can do (new Date).getTime();
You can do this using events to the mouseup and mousedown events and timing the difference between them. Also, you need to remember which element caused the click - if the user released the mouse on a different element then it should just do the "non 2-second hold" function. A JSFiddle showing this working is available here: http://jsfiddle.net/35rw3/6/.
That was a great suggestion from slash. This is how you can do this
var clickstart;
var clickstop;
$("a").on('mousedown', function(e) {
clickstart = e.timeStamp;
}).on('mouseup', function(e) {
clickstop = e.timeStamp- clickstart
if(clickstop >= 2000) two()
else one();
});

Updates:
It might be necessary to track the mouse movement like #MarkRhodes wrote in his comments. So for that, check this update
I have already this function I'm trying to add a timer like this: when value >= 1 and user doesn't move mouse for 1 minute or 60 seconds timer starts and redirect user to a new page but if user moves mouse before 60 seconds end the timer resets again.
function pagar(){
var textarea = document.getElementById ("textarea");
/*if (event.propertyName.toLowerCase () == "value") {
alert ("NUEVO VALOR EN EL CAMPO TOTAL: " + event.srcElement.value);
}*/
if (event.srcElement.value>=1)
{
var bottomMenu = $("#main_footer").bottomMenu([
{name:"backward","class":"red", text:getStr("menu_backward")},
{name:"menu","class":"green", text:getStr("menu_menu"), func:function(){parent.location = "./index.html";}, enabled:false},
{name:"forward","class":"green", text:getStr("menu_pay"), func:forward, enabled:true}
]);
}
else
{
var bottomMenu = $("#main_footer").bottomMenu([
{name:"backward","class":"red", text:getStr("menu_backward")},
{name:"menu","class":"green", text:getStr("menu_menu"), func:function() {parent.location = "./index.html";}, enabled:true},
{name:"forward","class":"green", text:getStr("menu_pay"), func:forward, enabled:false}
]);
}
}
I want to add a timer after this:
if (event.srcElement.value>=1)
{
You'll want to attach a mousemove event listener to the window which clears and resets a timer upon movement.
function MouseMoveTimeout() {
// Whatever you want the timeout to do
}
var TimerID;
function InstallMouseMoveTimeout(Install) {
var Timeout = 60000;
var MouseMoveDetector = function(e) {
clearTimeout(TimerID);
TimerID = setTimeout(MouseMoveTimeout, Timeout);
}
if(Install && TimerID == undefined) {
TimerID = setTimeout(MouseMoveTimeout, Timeout);
window.addEventListener('mousemove', MouseMoveDetector, true);
} else {
clearTimeout(TimerID);
window.removeEventListener('mousemove', MouseMoveDetector, true);
TimerID = undefined;
}
}
To use this in your code you would:
if (event.srcElement.value>=1) {
InstallMouseMoveTimeout(true); // Install mouse move timeout
...
} else {
InstallMouseMoveTimeout(false); // Cancel mouse move timeout
...
}
var idleTimer = null; // do this in the global scope
// do the following at the location where you want to reset the timer:
if(idleTimer) window.clearTimeout(idleTimer);
idleTimer = window.setTimeout(function() {
location.href = 'other-site';
}, 60000);
So whenever the second block of code is called the old timer is reset and a new one is started. However, since mousemove events trigger very often, this might screw up performance. In this case create an interval (setInterval()) which triggers e.g. every 10 seconds and only set the current date in your mousemove handler. Then you can simply check in your timer callback if enough time since the last mousemove has exceeded and in this case execute an action.
Sounds like a crazy UI idea! But if you want to do that, you need to declare this somewhere:
var timer;
When you want to start the timer running, do this:
timer = setTimeout(function() { timer = -1; doStuff(); }, seconds * 1000);
That will call doStuff after seconds has elapsed.
If you want to cancel the timer:
if (timer != -1) {
clearTimeout(timer);
timer = -1;
}
By combining these appropriately, you can solve your problem.
Is it possible to detect "idle" time in JavaScript?
My primary use case probably would be to pre-fetch or preload content.
I define idle time as a period of user inactivity or without any CPU usage
Here is a simple script using jQuery that handles mousemove and keypress events.
If the time expires, the page reloads.
<script type="text/javascript">
var idleTime = 0;
$(document).ready(function () {
// Increment the idle time counter every minute.
var idleInterval = setInterval(timerIncrement, 60000); // 1 minute
// Zero the idle timer on mouse movement.
$(this).mousemove(function (e) {
idleTime = 0;
});
$(this).keypress(function (e) {
idleTime = 0;
});
});
function timerIncrement() {
idleTime = idleTime + 1;
if (idleTime > 19) { // 20 minutes
window.location.reload();
}
}
</script>
With vanilla JavaScript:
var inactivityTime = function () {
var time;
window.onload = resetTimer;
// DOM Events
document.onmousemove = resetTimer;
document.onkeydown = resetTimer;
function logout() {
alert("You are now logged out.")
//location.href = 'logout.html'
}
function resetTimer() {
clearTimeout(time);
time = setTimeout(logout, 3000)
// 1000 milliseconds = 1 second
}
};
And initialise the function where you need it (for example: onPageLoad).
window.onload = function() {
inactivityTime();
}
You can add more DOM events if you need to. Most used are:
document.onload = resetTimer;
document.onmousemove = resetTimer;
document.onmousedown = resetTimer; // touchscreen presses
document.ontouchstart = resetTimer;
document.onclick = resetTimer; // touchpad clicks
document.onkeydown = resetTimer; // onkeypress is deprectaed
document.addEventListener('scroll', resetTimer, true); // improved; see comments
Or register desired events using an array
window.addEventListener('load', resetTimer, true);
var events = ['mousedown', 'mousemove', 'keypress', 'scroll', 'touchstart'];
events.forEach(function(name) {
document.addEventListener(name, resetTimer, true);
});
DOM Events list: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/dom_obj_event.asp
Remember to use window, or document according your needs. Here you can see the differences between them: What is the difference between window, screen, and document in JavaScript?
Code Updated with #frank-conijn and #daxchen improve: window.onscroll will not fire if scrolling is inside a scrollable element, because scroll events don't bubble. In window.addEventListener('scroll', resetTimer, true), the third argument tells the listener to catch the event during the capture phase instead of the bubble phase.
Improving on Equiman's (original) answer:
function idleLogout() {
var t;
window.onload = resetTimer;
window.onmousemove = resetTimer;
window.onmousedown = resetTimer; // catches touchscreen presses as well
window.ontouchstart = resetTimer; // catches touchscreen swipes as well
window.ontouchmove = resetTimer; // required by some devices
window.onclick = resetTimer; // catches touchpad clicks as well
window.onkeydown = resetTimer;
window.addEventListener('scroll', resetTimer, true); // improved; see comments
function yourFunction() {
// your function for too long inactivity goes here
// e.g. window.location.href = 'logout.php';
}
function resetTimer() {
clearTimeout(t);
t = setTimeout(yourFunction, 10000); // time is in milliseconds
}
}
idleLogout();
Apart from the improvements regarding activity detection, and the change from document to window, this script actually calls the function, rather than letting it sit idle by.
It doesn't catch zero CPU usage directly, but that is impossible, because executing a function causes CPU usage. And user inactivity eventually leads to zero CPU usage, so indirectly it does catch zero CPU usage.
I have created a small library that does this:
https://github.com/shawnmclean/Idle.js
Description:
Tiny JavaScript library to report activity of user in the browser
(away, idle, not looking at webpage, in a different tab, etc). that is independent of any
other JavaScript libraries such as jQuery.
Visual Studio users can get it from NuGet by:
Install-Package Idle.js
Here is a rough jQuery implementation of tvanfosson's idea:
$(document).ready(function(){
idleTime = 0;
//Increment the idle time counter every second.
var idleInterval = setInterval(timerIncrement, 1000);
function timerIncrement()
{
idleTime++;
if (idleTime > 2)
{
doPreload();
}
}
//Zero the idle timer on mouse movement.
$(this).mousemove(function(e){
idleTime = 0;
});
function doPreload()
{
//Preload images, etc.
}
})
Similar to Peter J's solution (with a jQuery custom event)...
// Use the jquery-idle-detect.js script below
$(window).on('idle:start', function() {
// Start your prefetch, etc. here...
});
$(window).on('idle:stop', function() {
// Stop your prefetch, etc. here...
});
File jquery-idle-detect.js
(function($, $w) {
// Expose configuration option
// Idle is triggered when no events for 2 seconds
$.idleTimeout = 2000;
// Currently in idle state
var idle = false;
// Handle to idle timer for detection
var idleTimer = null;
// Start the idle timer and bind events on load (not DOM-ready)
$w.on('load', function() {
startIdleTimer();
$w.on('focus resize mousemove keyup', startIdleTimer)
.on('blur', idleStart) // Force idle when in a different tab/window
;
]);
function startIdleTimer() {
clearTimeout(idleTimer); // Clear prior timer
if (idle) $w.trigger('idle:stop'); // If idle, send stop event
idle = false; // Not idle
var timeout = ~~$.idleTimeout; // Option to integer
if (timeout <= 100)
timeout = 100; // Minimum 100 ms
if (timeout > 300000)
timeout = 300000; // Maximum 5 minutes
idleTimer = setTimeout(idleStart, timeout); // New timer
}
function idleStart() {
if (!idle)
$w.trigger('idle:start');
idle = true;
}
}(window.jQuery, window.jQuery(window)))
You can do it more elegantly with Underscore.js and jQuery:
$('body').on("click mousemove keyup", _.debounce(function(){
// do preload here
}, 1200000)) // 20 minutes debounce
My answer was inspired by vijay's answer, but is a shorter, more general solution that I thought I'd share for anyone it might help.
(function () {
var minutes = true; // change to false if you'd rather use seconds
var interval = minutes ? 60000 : 1000;
var IDLE_TIMEOUT = 3; // 3 minutes in this example
var idleCounter = 0;
document.onmousemove = document.onkeypress = function () {
idleCounter = 0;
};
window.setInterval(function () {
if (++idleCounter >= IDLE_TIMEOUT) {
window.location.reload(); // or whatever you want to do
}
}, interval);
}());
As it currently stands, this code will execute immediately and reload your current page after 3 minutes of no mouse movement or key presses.
This utilizes plain vanilla JavaScript and an immediately-invoked function expression to handle idle timeouts in a clean and self-contained manner.
All the previous answers have an always-active mousemove handler. If the handler is jQuery, the additional processing jQuery performs can add up. Especially if the user is using a gaming mouse, as many as 500 events per second can occur.
This solution avoids handling every mousemove event. This result in a small timing error, but which you can adjust to your need.
function setIdleTimeout(millis, onIdle, onUnidle) {
var timeout = 0;
startTimer();
function startTimer() {
timeout = setTimeout(onExpires, millis);
document.addEventListener("mousemove", onActivity);
document.addEventListener("keydown", onActivity);
document.addEventListener("touchstart", onActivity);
}
function onExpires() {
timeout = 0;
onIdle();
}
function onActivity() {
if (timeout) clearTimeout(timeout);
else onUnidle();
//since the mouse is moving, we turn off our event hooks for 1 second
document.removeEventListener("mousemove", onActivity);
document.removeEventListener("keydown", onActivity);
document.removeEventListener("touchstart", onActivity);
setTimeout(startTimer, 1000);
}
}
http://jsfiddle.net/9exz43v2/
I had the same issue and I found a quite good solution.
I used jquery.idle and I only needed to do:
$(document).idle({
onIdle: function(){
alert('You did nothing for 5 seconds');
},
idle: 5000
})
See JsFiddle demo.
(Just for information: see this for back-end event tracking Leads browserload)
If you are targeting a supported browser (Chrome or Firefox as of December 2018) you can experiment with the requestIdleCallback and include the requestIdleCallback shim for unsupported browsers.
You could probably hack something together by detecting mouse movement on the body of the form and updating a global variable with the last movement time. You'd then need to have an interval timer running that periodically checks the last movement time and does something if it has been sufficiently long since the last mouse movement was detected.
I wrote a small ES6 class to detect activity and otherwise fire events on idle timeout. It covers keyboard, mouse and touch, can be activated and deactivated and has a very lean API:
const timer = new IdleTimer(() => alert('idle for 1 minute'), 1000 * 60 * 1);
timer.activate();
It does not depend on jQuery, though you might need to run it through Babel to support older browsers.

(Partially inspired by the good core logic of Equiman's answer.)
sessionExpiration.js
sessionExpiration.js is lightweight yet effective and customizable. Once implemented, use in just one row:
sessionExpiration(idleMinutes, warningMinutes, logoutUrl);
Affects all tabs of the browser, not just one.
Written in pure JavaScript, with no dependencies. Fully client side.
(If so wanted.) Has warning banner and countdown clock, that is cancelled by user interaction.
Simply include the sessionExpiration.js, and call the function, with arguments [1] number of idle minutes (across all tabs) until user is logged out, [2] number of idle minutes until warning and countdown is displayed, and [3] logout url.
Put the CSS in your stylesheet. Customize it if you like. (Or skip and delete banner if you don't want it.)
If you do want the warning banner however, then you must put an empty div with ID sessExpirDiv on your page (a suggestion is putting it in the footer).
Now the user will be logged out automatically if all tabs have been inactive for the given duration.
Optional: You may provide a fourth argument (URL serverRefresh) to the function, so that a server side session timer is also refreshed when you interact with the page.
This is an example of what it looks like in action, if you don't change the CSS.
Try this code. It works perfectly.
var IDLE_TIMEOUT = 10; //seconds
var _idleSecondsCounter = 0;
document.onclick = function () {
_idleSecondsCounter = 0;
};
document.onmousemove = function () {
_idleSecondsCounter = 0;
};
document.onkeypress = function () {
_idleSecondsCounter = 0;
};
window.setInterval(CheckIdleTime, 1000);
function CheckIdleTime() {
_idleSecondsCounter++;
var oPanel = document.getElementById("SecondsUntilExpire");
if (oPanel)
oPanel.innerHTML = (IDLE_TIMEOUT - _idleSecondsCounter) + "";
if (_idleSecondsCounter >= IDLE_TIMEOUT) {
alert("Time expired!");
document.location.href = "SessionExpired.aspx";
}
}
<script type="text/javascript">
var idleTime = 0;
$(document).ready(function () {
//Increment the idle time counter every minute.
idleInterval = setInterval(timerIncrement, 60000); // 1 minute
//Zero the idle timer on mouse movement.
$('body').mousemove(function (e) {
//alert("mouse moved" + idleTime);
idleTime = 0;
});
$('body').keypress(function (e) {
//alert("keypressed" + idleTime);
idleTime = 0;
});
$('body').click(function() {
//alert("mouse moved" + idleTime);
idleTime = 0;
});
});
function timerIncrement() {
idleTime = idleTime + 1;
if (idleTime > 10) { // 10 minutes
window.location.assign("http://www.google.com");
}
}
</script>
I think this jQuery code is perfect one, though copied and modified from above answers!!
Do not forgot to include the jQuery library in your file!
Pure JavaScript with a properly set reset time and bindings via addEventListener:
(function() {
var t,
timeout = 5000;
function resetTimer() {
console.log("reset: " + new Date().toLocaleString());
if (t) {
window.clearTimeout(t);
}
t = window.setTimeout(logout, timeout);
}
function logout() {
console.log("done: " + new Date().toLocaleString());
}
resetTimer();
//And bind the events to call `resetTimer()`
["click", "mousemove", "keypress"].forEach(function(name) {
console.log(name);
document.addEventListener(name, resetTimer);
});
}());
The problem with all these solutions, although correct, is they are impractical, when taking into account the session timeout valuable set, using PHP, .NET or in the Application.cfc file for ColdFusion developers.
The time set by the above solution needs to sync with the server-side session timeout. If the two do not sync, you can run into problems that will just frustrate and confuse your users.
For example, the server side session timeout might be set to 60 minutes, but the user may believe that he/she is safe, because the JavaScript idle time capture has increased the total amount of time a user can spend on a single page. The user may have spent time filling in a long form, and then goes to submit it. The session timeout might kick in before the form submission is processed.
I tend to just give my users 180 minutes, and then use JavaScript to automatically log the user out. Essentially, using some of the code above, to create a simple timer, but without the capturing mouse event part.
In this way my client side and server-side time syncs perfectly. There is no confusion, if you show the time to the user in your UI, as it reduces. Each time a new page is accessed in the CMS, the server side session and JavaScript timer are reset. Simple and elegant. If a user stays on a single page for more than 180 minutes, I figure there is something wrong with the page, in the first place.
You can use the below mentioned solution
var idleTime;
$(document).ready(function () {
reloadPage();
$('html').bind('mousemove click mouseup mousedown keydown keypress keyup submit change mouseenter scroll resize dblclick', function () {
clearTimeout(idleTime);
reloadPage();
});
});
function reloadPage() {
clearTimeout(idleTime);
idleTime = setTimeout(function () {
location.reload();
}, 3000);
}
I wrote a simple jQuery plugin that will do what you are looking for.
https://github.com/afklondon/jquery.inactivity
$(document).inactivity( {
interval: 1000, // the timeout until the inactivity event fire [default: 3000]
mouse: true, // listen for mouse inactivity [default: true]
keyboard: false, // listen for keyboard inactivity [default: true]
touch: false, // listen for touch inactivity [default: true]
customEvents: "customEventName", // listen for custom events [default: ""]
triggerAll: true, // if set to false only the first "activity" event will be fired [default: false]
});
The script will listen for mouse, keyboard, touch and other custom events inactivity (idle) and fire global "activity" and "inactivity" events.
I have tested this code working file:
var timeout = null;
var timee = '4000'; // default time for session time out.
$(document).bind('click keyup mousemove', function(event) {
if (timeout !== null) {
clearTimeout(timeout);
}
timeout = setTimeout(function() {
timeout = null;
console.log('Document Idle since '+timee+' ms');
alert("idle window");
}, timee);
});
Is it possible to have a function run every 10 seconds, and have that check a "counter" variable? If that's possible, you can have an on mouseover for the page, can you not?
If so, use the mouseover event to reset the "counter" variable. If your function is called, and the counter is above the range that you pre-determine, then do your action.
Here is the best solution I have found:
Fire Event When User is Idle
Here is the JavaScript:
idleTimer = null;
idleState = false;
idleWait = 2000;
(function ($) {
$(document).ready(function () {
$('*').bind('mousemove keydown scroll', function () {
clearTimeout(idleTimer);
if (idleState == true) {
// Reactivated event
$("body").append("<p>Welcome Back.</p>");
}
idleState = false;
idleTimer = setTimeout(function () {
// Idle Event
$("body").append("<p>You've been idle for " + idleWait/1000 + " seconds.</p>");
idleState = true; }, idleWait);
});
$("body").trigger("mousemove");
});
}) (jQuery)
I use this approach, since you don't need to constantly reset the time when an event fires. Instead, we just record the time, and this generates the idle start point.
function idle(WAIT_FOR_MINS, cb_isIdle) {
var self = this,
idle,
ms = (WAIT_FOR_MINS || 1) * 60000,
lastDigest = new Date(),
watch;
//document.onmousemove = digest;
document.onkeypress = digest;
document.onclick = digest;
function digest() {
lastDigest = new Date();
}
// 1000 milisec = 1 sec
watch = setInterval(function() {
if (new Date() - lastDigest > ms && cb_isIdel) {
clearInterval(watch);
cb_isIdle();
}
}, 1000*60);
},
Based on the inputs provided by equiman:
class _Scheduler {
timeoutIDs;
constructor() {
this.timeoutIDs = new Map();
}
addCallback = (callback, timeLapseMS, autoRemove) => {
if (!this.timeoutIDs.has(timeLapseMS + callback)) {
let timeoutID = setTimeout(callback, timeLapseMS);
this.timeoutIDs.set(timeLapseMS + callback, timeoutID);
}
if (autoRemove !== false) {
setTimeout(
this.removeIdleTimeCallback, // Remove
10000 + timeLapseMS, // 10 secs after
callback, // the callback
timeLapseMS, // is invoked.
);
}
};
removeCallback = (callback, timeLapseMS) => {
let timeoutID = this.timeoutIDs.get(timeLapseMS + callback);
if (timeoutID) {
clearTimeout(timeoutID);
this.timeoutIDs.delete(timeLapseMS + callback);
}
};
}
class _IdleTimeScheduler extends _Scheduler {
events = [
'load',
'mousedown',
'mousemove',
'keydown',
'keyup',
'input',
'scroll',
'touchstart',
'touchend',
'touchcancel',
'touchmove',
];
callbacks;
constructor() {

this.events.forEach(name => {
document.addEventListener(name, this.resetTimer, true);
});
this.callbacks = new Map();
}
addIdleTimeCallback = (callback, timeLapseMS) => {
this.addCallback(callback, timeLapseMS, false);
let callbacksArr = this.callbacks.get(timeLapseMS);
if (!callbacksArr) {
this.callbacks.set(timeLapseMS, [callback]);
} else {
if (!callbacksArr.includes(callback)) {
callbacksArr.push(callback);
}
}
};
removeIdleTimeCallback = (callback, timeLapseMS) => {
this.removeCallback(callback, timeLapseMS);
let callbacksArr = this.callbacks.get(timeLapseMS);
if (callbacksArr) {
let index = callbacksArr.indexOf(callback);
if (index !== -1) {
callbacksArr.splice(index, 1);
}
}
};
resetTimer = () => {
for (let [timeLapseMS, callbacksArr] of this.callbacks) {
callbacksArr.forEach(callback => {
// Clear the previous IDs
let timeoutID = this.timeoutIDs.get(timeLapseMS + callback);
clearTimeout(timeoutID);
// Create new timeout IDs.
timeoutID = setTimeout(callback, timeLapseMS);
this.timeoutIDs.set(timeLapseMS + callback, timeoutID);
});
}
};
}
export const Scheduler = new _Scheduler();
export const IdleTimeScheduler = new _IdleTimeScheduler();
As simple as it can get, detect when the mouse moves only:
var idle = false;
document.querySelector('body').addEventListener('mousemove', function(e) {
if(idle!=false)
idle = false;
});
var idleI = setInterval(function()
{
if(idle == 'inactive')
{
return;
}
if(idle == true)
{
idleFunction();
idle = 'inactive';
return;
}
idle = true;
}, 30000); // half the expected time. Idle will trigger after 60 s in this case.
function idleFuntion()
{
console.log('user is idle');
}
Here is an AngularJS service for accomplishing in Angular.
/* Tracks now long a user has been idle. secondsIdle can be polled
at any time to know how long user has been idle. */
fuelServices.factory('idleChecker',['$interval', function($interval){
var self = {
secondsIdle: 0,
init: function(){
$(document).mousemove(function (e) {
self.secondsIdle = 0;
});
$(document).keypress(function (e) {
self.secondsIdle = 0;
});
$interval(function(){
self.secondsIdle += 1;
}, 1000)
}
}
return self;
}]);
Keep in mind this idle checker will run for all routes, so it should be initialized in .run() on load of the angular app. Then you can use idleChecker.secondsIdle inside each route.
myApp.run(['idleChecker',function(idleChecker){
idleChecker.init();
}]);
Surely you want to know about window.requestIdleCallback(), which queues a function to be called during a browser's idle periods.
You can see an elegant usage of this API in the Quicklink repo.
const requestIdleCallback = window.requestIdleCallback ||
function (cb) {
const start = Date.now();
return setTimeout(function () {
cb({
didTimeout: false,
timeRemaining: function () {
return Math.max(0, 50 - (Date.now() - start));
},
});
}, 1);
};
The meaning of the code above is: if the browser supports requestIdleCallback (check the compatibility), uses it. If is not supported, uses a setTimeout(()=> {}, 1) as fallback, which should queue the function to be called at the end of the event loop.
Then you can use it like this:
requestIdleCallback(() => {...}, {
timeout: 2000
});
The second parameter is optional, you might want to set a timeout if you want to make sure the function is executed.
You could probably detect inactivity on your web page using the mousemove tricks listed, but that won't tell you that the user isn't on another page in another window or tab, or that the user is in Word or Photoshop, or WoW and just isn't looking at your page at this time.
Generally, I'd just do the prefetch and rely on the client's multi-tasking. If you really need this functionality, you do something with an ActiveX control in Windows, but it's ugly at best.
Debounce is actually a great idea! Here is a version for jQuery-free projects:
const derivedLogout = createDerivedLogout(30);
derivedLogout(); // It could happen that the user is too idle)
window.addEventListener('click', derivedLogout, false);
window.addEventListener('mousemove', derivedLogout, false);
window.addEventListener('keyup', derivedLogout, false);
function createDerivedLogout (sessionTimeoutInMinutes) {
return _.debounce( () => {
window.location = this.logoutUrl;
}, sessionTimeoutInMinutes * 60 * 1000 )
}
