> The reason I ask for this is that we are using TabCarousel on a server to
> display several reporting servers in our network. Unfortunately, refresh
> does not keep the connection alive on all of them,and they timeout after 20
> mins or so, meaning we have to relog in. We're trying to figure out a way
> around this currently, but it would be nice to be able to keep the same
> display, and simply have TabCarousel keep the connection alive. Just a
> suggestion for the future. :)
