Limit number of requests using a timer function

[macrost]

I have some code, but the problem is this:
When the page loads, the Timer() function starts, regardless if I have it in an If statement. I'm trying to limit the loop by a time difference.

Here's a brief snippit of code.

If Request.Form("submit1") = "Submit" Then
For i = 1 To Session("times")
StartTime = Timer()
'do processing stuff here
foobar = 1 * 9
If Timer() - StartTime >= 20 Then
Next
End If

But on page load, then the obvious error is thrown.
Unexpected 'Next'

Any ideas or thoughts?

try:

do while session("times") < 20

loop

Ok, after some searching, I have found a free component that does this for you.

Try this search:

actually, all you need is:

dim starttime 
starttime = Now() 
do until Now()-starttime >= #0:00:20# 
'do stuff 
loop
