if you had called... then it would generate infinate tymes of interval instances recursively — Pranav C Balan

and why from div you want to call means how on click, on hover or something else ? — Rahul

Try below code where page will be auto refreshed after 1min and that time on page load you are calling your function

 var refresh_mili_sec=60000;  //60000=1min
    $(document).ready(function(){
    var a=5;
    myFunc(a);

     setTimeout(function()
        {
             window.location.reload(1);
         }, refresh_mili_sec);
    });

    function myFunc(a) {
        alert(a);
      }
