try this
<script>
var d1 = new Date();
var maxlim = 100000;
function runtimer()
{
var d = new Date();
var c = d - d1;
if(c>maxlim)
{
document.formname.submit();
}
setTimeout("runtimer()",1000);
}
</script>
you have to call this script in the body tag using the onLoad keyword
<body onLoad="runtimer()">
here variable is used to store the date when the form was loaded.
and i think you can make out the rest.
if not, just lemme know.
