Make Label Visible for 10 seconds.

[jjc4779]

Hello everyone,

I have a web application that I have written that allows adding new records to a database and updating a database with changes made to an individual record.

When I add a record, I have a label called QueryResult in Red that appears in Red like so, "Record 999 has been Added".

I need for this message to appear only briefly and go away after maybe 10 seconds or so. How can I write code in VB to do this? I am using Visual Basic 2005 and I use the Sequel Server 2005 database.

Currently, I do not have the Ajax toolkit in my toolbox.

I need to just turn on the QueryResult Lable when a record is added for just 10 second and then have the message become invisible. I need the same coding for an update event too.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

This is something that would have to be done client side with javascript. I suggest you post your question in that forum

red is the worst color you can choose to display a successful message. red means: stop, error, etc. a green or yellow highlighted message would be a better choice.

as for making the message disappear after a few seconds. this is purely javascript. no .net not ajax.
