Is it possible to force a tab/window to take focus without an alert()?
<p>I've been working to solve some form / session timeout issues on our site. I'd like to get the users attention BEFORE this happens so that they don't lose data that they've entered into long forms. </p>

<p>I'm using jquery's .get to confirm with my server when the users session is set to timeout, and warn them 5 minutes before then.</p>

<p>I've found that if I pop an alert(), it will bring the focus back to that tab / page -- but this seems 'heavy handed'.</p>

<p>Is there a better way to do this?</p>
