Title
Body
Is it possible to automatically hide an element in a web page 5 seconds after the form loads using jQuery? Basically, I've got <div id="successMessage">Project saved successfully!</div> that I'd like to disappear after 5 seconds. I've looked at jQuery UI and the hide effect but I'm having a little trouble getting it work the way I want it to. <script type="text/javascript"> $(function() { function runEffect() { var selectedEffect = 'blind'; var options = {}; $("#successMessage").hide(selectedEffect, options, 500); }; $("#successMessage").click(function() { runEffect(); return false; }); }); </script> I'd like the click function to be removed and add a timeout method that calls the runEffect() after 5 seconds.
