[RESOLVED] Timed form submission

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 24.2007

Is there a way to submit a form after a certain period of time has passed?

I want to collect mouse positions for 30 seconds at 1 second intervals.
This I can do, but what I want is to send the information at the end of
the 30 seconds automatically (without clicking a ‘submit’ button).

@JMRKERauthorNov 24.2007 — Thanks. I'll give that a try.

Since I'm using another setTimeout() function, I assume there is not a conflict if it is set elsewhere. (?)

Just let me know if I'm heading for disaster!
