Bruce,
You can use JavaScript to automatically post the form after a set time.
For example, you can use the 'SetTimeout' function or the 'onunload' event
handler. You should Google these to get a better understanding of how
they work. Listed below are two very basic examples.
<body onunload="JavaScriptFunction();">
SetTimeout('JavaScriptFunction();', MilliSeconds);
