###HISTORY The original script was philpalmieri's jquery-idleTimeout, but it did not have activity detection across multiple windows & tabs. A request to add this functionality was submitted, and the response from nestoru suggested the use of marcuswestin's store.js that uses local storage to communicate across browser windows and tabs. https://github.com/philpalmieri/jquery-idleTimeout/issues/2#issuecomment-20855442

Later, josebalius created a fork of philpalmieri's that included the use of marcuswestin's store.js. The JillElaine version of the jquery-idleTimeout script was forked from the josebalius version and includes additional functionality.
