With a timeout as long as 20 minutes, you will need to set the maximum time that your program is allowed to run as you will exceed the normal system default for the system to time you out.

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">

another logic:
1- make a one iframe in main page.
2- on header of main page put a timer of 20 minute.
3- When 20 min finishes close iframe using js and prompt user that time is over.
