How do I have a custom item record responses when time expires? (case 4969)

For a project I am working on I would like to give participants a set time period (5 minutes) to enter responses to 10 fill in the blank items that are presented on the same screen. It is my understanding that this requires a custom item.

I manipulated a file that Blair had posted on the Empirisoft support forum and it seems to work with one issue. As of now, it is only recording data once the "Continue" button is pressed. I would like to have data recorded when the time duration runs out instead (in the questionnaire file, I have set a countdown clock for 5 minutes). As of now, when the time elapses, participants are told to press Enter to continue, but what they entered in the boxes is not being saved.

I can see the line in the html that probably needs to change, but I am unsure of how to change it properly.

Any ideas? I have attached the html code in a text file.

Thanks!
