How can I auto hide alert box after it showing it?
javascript
Solution
tldr; jsFiddle Demo
This functionality is not possible with an alert. However, you could use a div
function tempAlert(msg,duration)
{
var el = document.createElement("div");
el.setAttribute("style","position:absolute;top:40%;left:20%;background-color:white;");
el.innerHTML = msg;
setTimeout(function(){
el.parentNode.removeChild(el);
},duration);
document.body.appendChild(el);
}
Use this like this:
tempAlert("close",5000);
Problem
All I want to do is, how can I auto hide alert box within specific seconds after showing it? All I know is, ``` setTimeout(function() { alert('close'); }, 5000); // This will appear alert after 5 seconds ``` No need for this I want to disappear alert after showing it within seconds. Needed scenario : Show alert Hide/terminate alert within 2 seconds
