Hi,

I'm relatively new to JS but the strange quote character at the
beginning (I thought it was a back-tick, but doesn't appear it is) and
single quote at the end in that line don't look right to me -- is that
correct? I tried the code with Jim's change of using ".w2p_flash" but
it still doesn't work for me.

This is what the block of JS from web2py.js looks like currently:
--snip--
       /*helper for flash messages*/
       flash: function(message, status) {
         var flash = $('.w2p_flash');
         web2py.hide_flash();
         flash.html(message).addClass(status);
         if(flash.html()) flash.append('<span id="closeflash"> &times;
</span>').slideDown();
       },
       hide_flash: function() {
         $('.w2p_flash').fadeOut(0).html('');
       },
--snip--

I tried adding this line:
setTimeout(flash.fadeOut("slow"),5000);

But the message fades in and out in about a second, and in Chrome's
developer panel, I see a "(program):1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected
identifier" error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
