Move an image after (x) seconds

Im trying to make an image move to a random spot on the webpage after 5 seconds so far I have this:

var image = document.getElementById('image');
var position = 0;
var timing = setInterval(timing, 5000);

image.style.position = 'relative';


image.onclick=function move(direction){
  var top = Math.floor(Math.random()*75);
  var left = Math.floor(Math.random()*75);
  var right = Math.floor(Math.random()*75);
  var bottom = Math.floor(Math.random()*75);
  image.style.top = top + 'px';
  image.style.left = left + 'px';
  image.style.right = right + 'px';
  image.style.bottom = bottom + 'px';
}

How do I get it to move after 5 seconds?

Answer

create an moveImage function:

function moveImage(){
  var top = Math.floor(Math.random()*75);
  var left = Math.floor(Math.random()*75);
  var right = Math.floor(Math.random()*75);
  var bottom = Math.floor(Math.random()*75);
  image.style.top = top + 'px';
  image.style.left = left + 'px';
  image.style.right = right + 'px';
  image.style.bottom = bottom + 'px';
}

Update the onClick to use the new function:

image.addEventListener('click', moveImage);

Update the interval to use the new function:

var timing = setInterval(moveImage, 5000);

The whole thing:

var image = document.getElementById('image');
image.style.position = 'relative';

function moveImage(){
  var top = Math.floor(Math.random()*75);
  var left = Math.floor(Math.random()*75);
  var right = Math.floor(Math.random()*75);
  var bottom = Math.floor(Math.random()*75);
  image.style.top = top + 'px';
  image.style.left = left + 'px';
  image.style.right = right + 'px';
  image.style.bottom = bottom + 'px';
};

image.addEventListener('click', moveImage);
var timing = setInterval(moveImage, 5000);
