auto submit form after x seconds 1

[mrsbean]

I have the following code which I retrieved from a posting on this forum:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
    document.forms['newsubmit'].submit();
</script>

It works great. I'm a javascript illiterate. How could I change/add to this script so that it submits after a few seconds?
