Capturing time spent on a form

There was a requirement to show the time taken to take the test in the test module. I started off with something like this.

I used the following code on the test page:
[code]
<body onload="" starttime =" new" onunload="endTime = new Date(); document.form1.timerField.value = endTime.getTime() - startTime.getTime()">

[/code]

But this was somehow not capturing the endTime.

So I had resorted to functions as follows using javascript.

var endtime
var starttime
var tdiff

function doStart() {
starttime = new Date();
document.form1.startTime.value = starttime.valueOf();
}

function doEnd() {

endtime=new Date()
document.form1.endTime.value = endtime.valueOf() ;
diff();
document.form1.submit;
}


function diff()
{
tdiff = endtime.valueOf() - starttime.valueOf();
document.form1.timerField.value = round_decimals((tdiff/60000),2) ;
}

This displays the time taken to complete the test on the results page by using the Request.Form("timerField")
