calling javascript From userControl

Question

I have a userControl "foo.ascx" registered on and loaded on index.aspx. On foo's page_load I am calling a javascript method which is created on foo's markup page. I am using Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock The problem I am running up against is, during the loading of the user control the ClientScriptBlock code seems to be calling the javascript before the javascript is rendered. Below is an example of the page source i have and the problem IS StartCounter("25:10"); IS being called before the function is created. Any help would be great. Thank you very much.

        digitHeight: 77,
        timerEnd: function() { alert('end!!'); },
        image: "/Assets/Images/digits.png"
      });
      }

Try to register the js in this way in RegisterClientScriptBlock from server side it will solve the problem.

$(document).ready(function(){ StartCounter("25:10"); });
