Hi, I'm relatively new to JS but the strange quote character at the beginning (I thought it was a back-tick, but doesn't appear it is) and single quote at the end in that line don't look right to me -- is that correct? I tried the code with Jim's change of using ".w2p_flash" but it still doesn't work for me.
This is what the block of JS from web2py.js looks like currently: --snip-- /*helper for flash messages*/ flash: function(message, status) { var flash = $('.w2p_flash'); web2py.hide_flash(); flash.html(message).addClass(status); if(flash.html()) flash.append('<span id="closeflash"> × </span>').slideDown(); }, hide_flash: function() { $('.w2p_flash').fadeOut(0).html(''); }, --snip-- I tried adding this line: setTimeout(flash.fadeOut("slow"),5000); But the message fades in and out in about a second, and in Chrome's developer panel, I see a "(program):1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier" error. Any help would be greatly appreciated. --Marc On Wed, Jul 13, 2016 at 6:41 PM, Jim Brouzoulis <jim.brouzou...@chalmers.se> wrote: > Thank you very much for your help!
