Use setTimeout() method. Try this

PHP Code:


			
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>

<head>

<script>

time=3000;//time to stay on, in milliseconds

function closeMes(){

document.getElementById('mes').style.display='none'

}

window.onload=function(){setTimeout('closeMes()',time)}

</script>

</head>

<body>

<div id="mes" style="position:absolute; background-color:#CCCCCC">This message will stay on for 3 seconds</div>

</body>

</html>
