That is beside the point. As accurate as "richard"'s problem descriptions
usually go, chances are it did not say that their "mouse had been idle", but
that *they* had been idle, i.e. they had not navigated anywhere on that
site. You can deal with this condition with a META-refresh, although as I
said it is not reliable.

There is no "javascript". In any ECMAScript implementation, it cannot be
done reliably either, partially because one usually cannot determine pointer
movements beyond the browser viewport.
