How to hide flash message after few seconds?

Question

In my application user can post challenge for other user. So after successful posting a challenge I am displaying one flash message for the same. But now I want to hide this

Answer 1

Someone posted a similar question to stackoverflow with this solution:

<script type="text/javascript">window.setTimeout("document.getElementById('successMessage').style.display='none';", 2000); </script>

<div id="successMessage"> bla bla bla
</div>

I'd share the link but I can't find it anymore. Thanks for the help, though, mystery human!

Answer 2

Some times it's not enough to only setting display of box to none it's better to completely remove it. as follows:

setTimeout(function() {
    $('.alert-box').remove();
}, 30000); 

Answer 3

You can use the delay jQuery API to achieve this.

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#successMessage").delay(5000).slideUp(300);
});

Answer 4

You can try :

setTimeout(function() {
    $('#successMessage').fadeOut('fast');
}, 30000); // <-- time in milliseconds

If you used this then your div will be hide after 30 sec.I also tried this one and it worked for me.
