Javascript Timer

Ok I have this javascript timer,

php Code:

Original - php Code
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript"><!-- var x = 120 var y = 1 function startClock(){ x = x-y document.frm.clock.value = x setTimeout("startClock()", 1000) if(x==0) { <? print("BAH"); ?> } } startClock() //--> </script>

 
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript"><!--
    var x = 120
    var y = 1
    function startClock(){
    x = x-y
    document.frm.clock.value = x
    setTimeout("startClock()", 1000)
    if(x==0)
    {
        <? print("BAH"); ?>
    } }
    startClock() //-->
    </script>

Basically I want to give users 2 minutes to fill out a form and hit submit, and if they dont do it within that time limit, it unsets some session variables, and does a couple database queries. Can this be done? Am I headed in the right direction?

RE: Javascript Timer

in order to reset the session variables and run queries, you would need to automatically submit the form indicating that the form was not completed. This would be somewhat annoying to the user as far as I can see.
