You can submit a form without refreshing a page something like this:

form.php:

 
 


Result comes here..

profile.php:

 'This is my result' );
      echo json_encode( $arr );
?>

jQuery:

jQuery(document).ready(function(){

    jQuery('.ajaxform').submit( function() {

        $.ajax({
            url     : $(this).attr('action'),
            type    : $(this).attr('method'),
            dataType: 'json',
            data    : $(this).serialize(),
            success : function( data ) {
                        // loop to set the result(value)
                        // in required div(key)
                        for(var id in data) {
                            jQuery('#' + id).html( data[id] );
                        }
                      }
        });

        return false;
    });

});

And If you want to call an ajax request without refreshing page after a particular time, you can try something like this:

var timer, delay = 300000;

timer = setInterval(function(){
    $.ajax({
      type    : 'POST',
      url     : 'profile.php',
      dataType: 'json',
      data    : $('.ajaxform').serialize(),
      success : function(data){
                  for(var id in data) {
                    jQuery('#' + id).html( data[id] );
                  }
                }
    });
}, delay);

And you can stop the timer at any time like this:

clearInterval( timer );

Hope this will give you a direction to complete your task.
