How to call a apex class from javascript?

I'm trying to change the timeout value from apex using a button in <apex:actionStatus>
apex class:
global class ApexController {
public Integer intMergeTimeout {get; set;}
public void timeoutMerge(){
        //set timeout to 1second
        intMergeTimeout = 500;
    }
}

javascript:
 
<apex:includeScript value="/soap/ajax/21.0/connection.js"/>
        <apex:includeScript value="/soap/ajax/21.0/apex.js"/>
        <script>
        function timeout(){
            sforce.connection.sessionId = "{!$Api.Session_ID}";
            try{
                var result = sforce.apex.executeAnonymous("ApexController","timeoutMerge",{});
                console.log('Timeout!!');
            }catch(e) {
                alert(e);
            }
        }
        </script>

VF(because apex:commandButton doesn't work in the facet I used <input type:"button">):
 
<apex:commandButton value="Action" action="{!action}" status="Loading" reRender="pageSecId" timeout="{!intMergeTimeout}"/>                            
                            <apex:actionStatus id="Loading" >
                                <apex:facet name="start">                                    
                                    <div>
                                        <div class="popupBackground" />
                                        <div class="PopupPanel">
                                            <div align="center">
                                                <div class="slds-text-heading--label">
                                                    <b>Merging...</b>                                                    
                                                </div>
                                                <div class="slds-button slds-button--brand">
                                                    <input type="button" onclick="timeout()" value="Cancel"/>
                                                </div>
                                            </div>
                                        </div>
                                    </div>
                                </apex:facet>                                
                                <apex:facet name="stop"></apex:facet>
                            </apex:actionStatus>

Hello jkc,

Update your javascript code as below:
<script>
	function timeout(){
		callTimeOut();
	}
</script>

Add below code in your VF page:
<apex:actionFunction name="callTimeOut" action="{!timeoutMerge}" id="timeoutFcn" />
On click of your button, Javascript function get call. This JS function calls actionfunction in VF page which in turn calls your method in controller.

Hi check this once...
 
Try it
<apex:page controller="calljavascript_cls" >
<script>
  function func()
  {
  alert('function calling');
  }
  </script>
  <apex:outputText value="{!callfunc}" escape="false"></apex:outputText>
 
</apex:page>
-------- apex class --------------
public class calljavascript_cls
{
public string callfunc{get;set;}
public calljavascript_cls()

    callfunc='<script> func(); </script>';
}
}
