Make lable 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 this be done using Javascript?

Any help is appreciated.

Use setTimeOut.

setTimeOut("QueryResult.style.display='none';",10000);

Just call setTimeOut, and set the time in milliseconds for it to wait before hiding your label.

vancunita,

I am new to JavaScript. Where do you place your coding in the HTML area in the source code? Do I place after the Title?

You place it wherever it is you'll call the function that shows your label. Since I don't know how you show your label, I can't tell you where too place the code.
