Yes, an xforms:timer model element or control! If you can't do it directly with XForms, how do you do it, with Javascript? I think that a timer should be an out-of-the-box component in a future version of XForms, following the philosophy that we should attempt to integrate very common usage patterns using declarative markup. -- Orbeon - XForms Everywhere: http://www.orbeon.com/blog/
