[Webdev] Redirect to a page if the connection is idle

[Donncha O Caoimh]

I tried to use the setTimeout() method before for something else
(remember that frames thread last week?), but it came with a warning of
memory leaks in Netscape.. you should have seen Netscape get slower and
slower and slower as the loop expired!
