Fade-in/out message

**Jim Weinberg** · 07-27-2012, 09:59 PM

Hi all.

I have a form. When the submit button is clicked, I want a message to fade-in in a pop-up, wait for a pre-determined amount of time, and then fade out. Has anyone come across a script that will do that?

Thanks.

Vic.

Many thanks. I'll give it a try.

Vic:

Works fine. Thanks.

Looks like I spoke too soon. The script works the first time, but then stops working. I think the problem is that the form in the code has a null (action="#") value. The form on my page posts data to another page. If I null out the action attribute in my code, it works fine. Unfortunately, I can't do that.

If anyone has a suggestion on how to fix this or another script that will do the same thing, I'd appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks.
