prototype - how to delay a call to hide() by 10 seconds

Question

Hi,

I have the following code:

$('message').show();
$('message').hide();

How do I add a 10 second delay between the show and hide in prototype?

Thanks

Answer 1

You can use the delay function

Answer 2

I don't know prototype but this is simple with pure JS:

$('message').show();
setTimeout(function(){$('message').hide();}, 10000);

Answer 3

$('message').show();
Element.hide.delay(10, 'message');
