Timeout: enhancement #113

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

Hopefully both of these ideas are simple. It would probably be easier adding 
them now while you are working on the timeout functionality rather than try to 
remember what you did a couple months from now.

1. Soft ticking sounds a few seconds before the timeout alert pops up.
This pre-warning is a feature in our demos. I've found that a number of people 
start to do something once they start hearing these sounds rather than waiting 
for the message, which is a good thing. Basically, about 3 seconds before the 
popup appears a soft ticking/clicking sound plays slowly until the alert pops 
up.

2. Display content at a URL.
Currently, the content of the data-ez-timeout="string of content" is the 
content of the alert box. This does not allow for any formatting, not even line 
breaks to make the message easier to read visually. Since you already do 
something like this for the data-ez-help attribute, I would like it if it could 
also take a URL and would display its content. Then an author might use a 
common file like this: data-ez-timeout="alerts.html#timeout"
