Jquery making div fadeout with timer

Question

Looking to make a div fadeout after 10 seconds.

Tried various things but can't get the timer working.

This is the code:

$('#deletesuccess').show();

Edit:

This is the full code:

    function refreshTable() {
        //timestamp to get around ie caching issue
var tsTimeStamp= new Date().getTime();


$('#deletesuccess').show().fadeOut();



$.get('table.php',
      {action: "get", time: tsTimeStamp},
      function(data){
        $('#customertable').html(data).fadeIn();
      });
return true;
}  

I need to show the div and then hide it after x amount of seconds.

Answer 1

Use setTimeout for this.

setTimeout(function(){ 
    $("#deletesuccess").fadeOut("slow"); 
  }, 10000 ); 

Answer 2

An easy way in 1.4:

$('#deletesuccess').delay(10000).fadeOut();

You can also abort this easily if needed:

$('#deletesuccess').stop(true, true);
