I think you should have a ajax submit on change of the form fields and only accept changes server side before the time expires. You do not need a timer. You only need to calculate the time difference between begin and last ajax submission.
if the server does not accept an ajax submit because time expires you can trigger a redirect on the client to notify the user. rote: > I am creating an application which can simulate on-line examination > (similar to GRE).
