If you just want to run the javascript function at a specific time you could use the “setTimeout” method to schedule your function execution. For example, the following code displays a message at 20:30 PM of the current day:

var date = new Date();
date.setHours(20, 30, 00, 0);
setTimeout("alert('It is time!')", date.getTime() - (new Date()).getTime());​​​​​​​

You can easily create a function to wrap the code above and apply it to your case. Then just bind it to the Sys.Application.load Event.
