How to call a javaScript function inside a div after specific time?

Question

Here, the scenario is i want to make a javascript function call inside a div after specific time ..But How do I implement it using javascript/ajax?

<div class="container" function()>
</div>

divs do not have an `onload` attribute; what are you trying to do? — Jacob, Aug 31 '16 at 06:03
I see your ajax tag: Please clarify: Are you asking how to trigger a function call after an ajax response has been received? Or something else? — markE, Aug 31 '16 at 06:09

Why it's important to have a script _in_ a div? The placing of a script usually doesn't matter. — Teemu, Aug 31 '16 at 06:14
Actually I want to reload the div after specific time , so when it reload it called a ajax function which will load the update data..so it's my problem in details..So if you have a better solution, you can suggest .. — User57, Aug 31 '16 at 06:43

Divs don't have an onLoad handler. One thing you can do is to quickly and dirtily put a script tag under your div like so:

<div class="container">
</div>
<script>
 setTimeout(function() {
    //Do what you want to do
}, 5000)
</script>

Ah my bad. I thought it was `onClick` Made the change – nikjohn Aug 31 '16 at 06:05
Is there anyway I could call that function automatically after specific time inside the div – User57 Aug 31 '16 at 06:07

What does "inside the div" mean. You tagged the question "ajax" - please update the question with the scenario you have in mind – mplungjan Aug 31 '16 at 06:09
