Maybe (untested):
$('#myDiv').show(); setTimeout(function() { $('#myDiv').hide(); }, 5000); Where 5000 is the duration to show it for, in milliseconds (i.e., 1000 = 1 second). Hope it helps. --Erik On 7/14/07, goofy166 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I have mastered many of the incredible features of jquery today for the first time, but for the life of me I can't figure out how in the heck you can get a div to display for a fixed amount of time then just hide itself. Sorry for such a stupid question.
