You can use plain javascript  this will call your func once  after 5 seconds   setTimeout function     your func       5000     If your function has no parameters and no explicit receiver you can call directly setTimeout func  5000   There is also a plugin I ve used once  It has oneTime and everyTime methods    jQuery timers plugin
