Messagebox autohide

[Timo]

After a form has been saved, I display a message with nuMessage("Saved + other information..."]);. Now it would be nice if the message would go away on its own after a second. Is that possible?

Timo,

The reason the message stays there is that sometimes a user might need to copy it when its still on the screen.

I agree, sometimes, especially when it is used to output an error message it should not go away on its own. In my case a short informative message is shown and it can disappear again after 1-2 secs

Timo, you can use a timeout and hide the messagebox:

Code: Select all

function custMessageTimeout(msg, timeout) {
      nuMessage(msg);
      setTimeout(function() {
         $('#nuMessageDiv').hide();
        }, timeout);
}

if (nuFormType() == 'edit') {

 if (nuIsSaved()) {		
        custMessageTimeout(["Entry saved"],1500);
}
			
}

Thanks mate, that works!
