See the site here

After selecting a particular area, i am updating the Div with this code

$('dateRange').update(dateData[xmin] + ' - ' + dateData[xmax]);


       <div id="dateRange">
    </div>

Actually my question is after updating the div, i want to execute a some function. So is it possible to keep Javascript inside the div tag??

Because if i keep the function after this line

        $('dateRange').update(dateData[xmin] + ' - ' + dateData[xmax]);
alert(date1);

alert(date2); the code is geting executed a number of times (In this case the alerts are coming as soon as the mouse is moved on chart )

Please help
