I wanted a JavaScript function to run 60 seconds after page is loaded. After a little research I have made, I've found that setTimeout() is the solution.
So that's what I did:
<body onLoad="setTimeout(postAction('news.reads', 'article'), 60000);">
Somehow, setTimeout does not work. After the page is loaded, there's no need to wait 60 seconds because postAction() runs immediately.
Why is it happening? How to solve it? Are there alternatives to setTimeout() up there? Thank you!

You need to wrap postAction in a function to defer execution:
setTimeout(function() { postAction('news.reads', 'article'); }, 60000);
You are actually executing postAction immediately, your code is equivalent to:
var result = postAction('news.reads', 'article');
setTimeout(result, 60000);
