I am looking for a JavaScript to submit a page after 30 seconds from when the page is loaded. Does jQuery offer this functionality or does someone have regular javascript for this? Thank You

Using setTimeout you can achieve this by having a callback function which can submit a form for you (I presume that is what you mean by saying to 'submit a page')

    <script>
    setTimeout(function() {
        document.myform.submit();
    }, 30000);
    </script>

That will submit the form with the name 'myform' after 30 seconds the page has been loaded.

You submit a form, not a page. You don't need jQuery to do that.

<form id="foo">
    // etc.
</form>

<script>
    function doSubmit() { document.getElementById('foo').submit(); }
    setTimeout(doSubmit, 30000);
</script>

Use the setTimeout function.
