Layer disappearing

Is it possible ?

[fashezee]

I would like to have a layer disappear after it's finished it's purpose. Is there a way of setting a time limit for a layer being visible?

Use JavaScript where ### is the time in milliseconds:

<script language="JavaScript">
function myFunc() {
document.layers.name_of_layer.visibility = "hidden";
}
setTimeOut("myFunc()",###);
</script>

Or if you're using DIVs (IE, NN6 etc..)

<div id="myDiv">content</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
function hidemydiv()
{
document.getElementById('myDiv').style.visibility = 'hidden';
setTimeout("hidemydiv()",###);
}
</script>

Note that the o in setTimeout should be lower case. I've ran into that problem so many times, "What do you mean object #!*&% expected ???" ;)

joshie..where would I put the time limit?

[DrDoc]

Oops .. Sorry joshie, my bad :)
Of course it's setTimeout

[joshie76]

The time limit would replace the ### in milliseconds - so 1000 = 1 second, 8000 = 8 seconds, 500 = 1/2 a second and so on...

joshie76: And 386 would be ... what? ;)

Is this one of these number pattern games?;)
