like I want an html page to have some text, bla bla bla, then after about 20seconds on that same page I want a form/button to show up...

Two relatively painless ways of handling this.
Method 1 - Put your form inside a DIV that's visibility: hidden. Start your timeout and have your callback un-hide the DIV.
Method 2 - Put an empty DIV where you want your form to appear. When your timeout runs, put the entire content of your form into the DIV using innerHTML.
I've used both methods successfully, although the second one can be a bit of a PITA due to size limitations of static strings in js... I tend to use that more for dynamic regeneration of display elements.
HTH. HAND.
