Is this what you mean?<br />
<br />
&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;<br />
// close the div in 5 secs<br />
window.setTimeout(&quot;closeHe<wbr />lpDiv();&quot;,<wbr /> 8000);<br />
<br />
function closeHelpDiv(){<br />
$(&quot;helpdiv&quot;).hide('slow');<wbr /><br />
}<br />
&lt;/script&gt;<br />
<br />
If so, it now not disappearing at all.

I'm using the following script that displays a div for a few seconds and then it disappears. I would like it to ease away more gracefully than the current script I'm using. Can this be done in Jquery and if so, how can I apply it to the following code.<br />
<br />
&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;<br />
// close the div in 5 secs<br />
window.setTimeout(&quot;closeHe<wbr />lpDiv();&quot;,<wbr /> 5000);<br />
<br />
function closeHelpDiv(){<br />
document.getElementById(&quot;h<wbr />elpdiv&quot;).s<wbr />tyle.displ<wbr />ay=&quot; none&quot;;<br />
}<br />
&lt;/script&gt;<br />

Make div disappear after a few seconds

jQuery (Core) is a cross-browser JavaScript library that provides abstractions for common client-side tasks such as Document Object Model (DOM) traversal, DOM manipulation, event handling, animation and Ajax. jQuery also provides a platform to create plugins that extend jQuery's capabilities beyond those already provided by the library.

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.

JavaScript

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
