I think your refresh function is incomplete, for instance there's nothing that makes it loop. Try something like this:

$(document).ready(function () {
    var seconds = 5000; // time in milliseconds
    var reload = function() {
       $.ajax({
          url: 'editStatus.jsp',
          cache: false,
          success: function(data) {
              $('#refreshDIV').html(data);
              setTimeout(function() {
                 reload();
              }, seconds);
          }
       });
     };
     reload();
});
