I have an HTML form that I need to post to the server with HTTP POST and input data.

Specifically, I need to send only the parameter values of all the checkboxes that are checked in the form.

I need to do it if the user doesn’t do it himself in 10 minutes.

I am not sure the best way to achieve this but for now I am trying to use jQuery do that but sadly I don’t know anything about JavaScipt or jQuery so I am trying to learn it but failing to achieve something as simple as that.

I need to the run the following after 10 minutes since the page on which the form is loads.

    $("document").ready(function() {            
        var checkedInputElements = $(":input[value=true]");
        var paramNames = [];
        jQuery.each(checkedInputElements, function() {
            var paramName = $(this).attr("name");
            paramNames.push(paramName);
        });
        $("form").submit(function() {
            jQuery.post({
              type: 'POST',
              url: "http://localhost:8080/wickedlynotsmart/auto-submit-form",
              data: paramNames
          });
          return true;
        });
    });

I am not sure if the code above is correct or not. I am still working on it.
Could someone suggest me a guide which I could use to write a timer so that this code runs after the 10 minutes are over since the page loads?

Thanks.

This is the page I am working on and trying to get things work for me.

    This will do:

    setInterval(submit_me, 600000); // (1000 * 60 * 10 = 600000)

function submit_me() {

    $('#form').submit();

}

    Shorter version:

    setTimeout(function() { $('#form').submit(); }, 5000);
