Submit after timer expires

I am wanting to submit a page after a length of time has expired but only if the user doesn’t submit it first.
Anyone got any ideas?

@steelersfan88Aug 05.2004 — For example ...<script type="text/javascript">

var num_secs = 10; // number of seconds before submit.
var elem = document.getElementById('tmr') // the id of the timer element
var frm = "myForm" // name of form

window.onload = function() {
document.getElementById('tmr').innerHTML = "You have "+ num_secs +" second"+ ((num_secs!=1) ? "s" : "" ) + " to submit the form.";
frm = document.forms[frm]
window.setInterval("sub('num_secs')",1000)
}

function sub(val) {
window[val]--;
document.getElementById('tmr').innerHTML = "You have "+ num_secs +" second"+ ((num_secs!=1) ? "s" : "" ) + " to submit the form.";
if(window[val] == 0) {
document.getElementById('tmr').innerHTML = "Submitting ...";
frm.submit();
}
}

</script>

<form name="myForm" action="script.pl" method="get">
Name: <input type="text" id="txtName"><BR>
<button type="submit">Submit!</button>
</form>

<div id="tmr"></div>

Success!
