Last summer I've made an educational website where scholars can make assigments and do tests. I've created an onblur autosave for *every* input type and textarea. I think that's what you're looking for?

That way it is kept alive as long as the user is moving the mouse which is much more likley than the user continually clicking.

Because of the way it works, I can't imagine 60 seconds passing by without the user clicking within my content div.

I wouldn't reccommend autosaving.

As of now, I have applied the onmouseup event to the "content" div. That should be sufficient to see if they are in fact "actively working" within the page.
