Question Browser refresh technique

I have a situation that I want to warn the user that they have exceeded their inactivity period for the session and have been logged out. But to do so the browser must hit the server again to allow the server to sense the user has exceeded the inactivity period and return an appropriate page. I've used a META tag to cause the refresh and that works OK. The exception is when the user is doing activity in second browser window which keeps the session activity counter going. When the first browser hits the META refresh that page is reset to the top of the page. I have not been able to figure out how to get a browser to refresh but still keep it's position - much like hitting the back button. Can anyone assist me in the situation?

Thanks
