 <p>You can use a timout in Javascript or maybe the <a href="http://plugins.jquery.com/project/timers" rel="nofollow noreferrer">timer plugin</a> from jQuery. This will allow you to create a function that removes teh message after a period of time. I haven't used the timer plugin myself but it seems pretty stable.</p> <pre><code>$("#save-button").click(function() { //code to save etc $("your label").oneTime(10000, "hide", function() { $("Your Label").hide(); }); }); </code></pre>
